On September 16, 1940, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Selective Training and Service Act, establishing the first peacetime military draft in American history. Since then millions of men and women have served in the armed forces and many have had to deal with legal issues related to their service. This month we’re featuring books on topics ranging from military law and procedure to veterans’ benefits as well as the roles of attorneys in wartime.
