"Foreword by the National Autistic Association"--Cover.
Colonel William Winthrop singularly was the most influential person in developing the military law of the United States. A half century ago, the Supreme Court tendered to Winthrop the title, 'The Blackstone of Military Law,' meaning simply that his influence outshone all others. He has been cited over 20 times by the highest court and well over a 1,000 times by other federal courts, state courts, and legal texts. In this, he surpasses most other legal scholars, save Joseph Story, John Marshall, or Felix Frankfurter. But while biographies of each of these Supreme Court Justices have been written, there has been none to date on Winthrop. The Blackstone of Military Law: Colonel William Winthrop is the first biography on this important figure in military and legal history. Written in both a chronological and thematic format, author Joshua E. Kastenberg begins with Winthrop's legal training, his involvement in abolitionism, his military experiences during the Civil War, and his long tenure as a judge advocate. This biography provides the necessary context to fully appreciate Winthrop's work, its meaning, and its continued relevance.

The main goal of the author in writing this critical book is to support peace in the world. This book covers some topical issues. One conclusion the author arrived at in this research is that extremism is a pan cultural phenomenon, not being endemic to a select group of nations or societies and none of the religions affirm or encourage violence and there is no link between religion and extremism. If there is no link between religion and extremism, the term "religious extremism" is just a mask created by extremists for giving the status of holiness to their own activities.
