''Whom Shall We Hang? The Sebastopol Inquiry (1855)'' is a historical non-fiction book written by Peter Benson Maxwell. The book recounts the events of the Sebastopol Inquiry, a military investigation that took place in 1855 during the Crimean War. The inquiry was conducted by a group of British officers who were tasked with investigating the conduct of the British army during the siege of Sebastopol, a major battle in the war.The book provides a detailed and comprehensive account of the inquiry, including the evidence presented, the testimonies of witnesses, and the final verdict. Maxwell examines the various factors that contributed to the inquiry, including political pressure, public opinion, and the need for accountability in the military.Throughout the book, Maxwell explores the complex moral and ethical questions raised by the inquiry, including the responsibility of military leaders for the actions of their troops, the treatment of prisoners of war, and the use of force in warfare. He also examines the impact of the inquiry on the British military and society as a whole, and considers its relevance to contemporary debates about military conduct and accountability.Overall, ''Whom Shall We Hang? The Sebastopol Inquiry (1855)'' is a fascinating and insightful exploration of a pivotal moment in British military history, and a thought-provoking reflection on the challenges and dilemmas of military leadership and accountability.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
