Best military law books according to redditors

Source: Blind Eye to Murder by Tom Bower (Granada Publishing: 1983) page 272, figure 8. The caption for the image reads: “Colonel Gerald Draper of the British War Crimes Group photographed as he finally secured the confession of Rudolph Hoess, the commandant of Auschwitz, to the murder of three million people.”

I bought this book. It was great. It was EXTREMELY detailed and explained everything very well. The difficult was on par with the actual test.

I also bought this book which was not good. It was far too easy and I didn't use it at all.

Also bought a couple of practiced tests off of https://afoqtguide.com/. I also used the Peterson's practice test. Both were great resources. Peterson's was the most similar to the actual AFOQT, but AFOQT Guide was right there with it.

The most important thing is to practice with time constraints. The timing is what kills most people.

I'm just an average guy but I scored pretty well on my test. All 90's and high 80's. I have those resources to thank. Good luck.

Studied both of these and they both gave a pretty accurate representation of the actual test. Granted, there may be newer versions since I took the test early last year.

The definitive and most comprehensive source is Simpson's masterpiece, 'In the Highest Degree Odious: Detention without Trial in Wartime Britain'

That is quite an expensive and long book, but it is comparatively objective and written by a legal historian who eventually became Professor of Law at Michigan Law School. That said, I think it is quite hard to look at the issue without having some element of victors bias, as the specific context that Churchill faced was chaotic and difficult.
