“I heard a good lawyer can always use convoluted reasoning to find a loophole.”
When an escaped slave shows up at Fort Monroe demanding sanctuary during the Civil War, the newly appointed commandant, Major General Benjamin Butler is faced with an impossible moral dilemma—follow the letter of the law or make a game-changing move that could alter the course of U.S. history?
“Part comedy, part historical drama …Just call it splendid… It’s a funny and impressive mixture.” —The New York Times
