by Saul Levitt
with Lee Montague, Maurice Denham, Joss Ackland and John Woodvine
In the summer of 1865, in an atmosphere of exhaustion and vengeance after a Civil War in which more than half-a-million Americans had succeeded in killing one another, a spectacular war crimes trial took place in Washington. An obscure Confederate (Southern) captain, Henry Wirz, was accused of the deliberate extermination of the Union (Northern) prisoners of war in his custody.
