JAGC-Off

The author was a former Infantry officer in Vietnam and Military Intelligence officer in West Germany before going into law school and becoming an Army JAGC officer. JAGC-Off, written in a style similar to that of John Mortimer's Rumpole of Bailey stories, tells readers how the real JAC Corps was. Each chapter is a fictionalized court-martial or administrative discharge board based on real cases or composites of case vignettes. Set in the past 40 years or so, most chapters focus on a particular court-martial or military administrative discharge board the way that Rumpole chapters focus on his trials.
