" Death or Deliverance corrects many misconceptions about the subject of military justice in the Canadian Corps. While it will have significant appeal for Canadian and other historians of Great War military history and legal history, it will also enjoy a popular readership because of its gripping subject matter." - Patrick Brennan, fellow of the Centre for Military and Strategic Studies, University of Calgary, " Death or Deliverance tells an important story, that of desertion in the First World War and the ways in which the army reacted. Investigating the later campaign to pardon the soldiers shot for that offence, Iacobelli adopts an entirely original approach - she incorporates the stories of those soldiers found guilty of desertion but who avoided the firing squad. The book's conclusions and its many comparisons between military law and civilian jurisprudence at the time are sure to spark scholarly debate." - Bill Rawling, author of Surviving Trench Warfare: Technology and the Canadian Corps, 1914-1918, ?i>Death or Deliverance corrects many misconceptions about the subject of military justice in the Canadian Corps.
