Martial Law in Hawaii:
The Papers of Major General Thomas
H. Green, Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Army
|
On December
7, 1941, Lieutenant Colonel Thomas H. Green was Staff
Judge Advocate, Hawaiian Department. After the Japanese attack
on Pearl Harbor, he became executive to the military governor
and was responsible for countless daily operations of the
American military government in the Territory of Hawaii. His
personal papers—spanning his entire career from 1917 through
his retirement in 1949—include notes, speeches and newspaper
clippings, as well as correspondence with such historic figures
as the secretaries of War, Navy, and Interior, President Franklin
Delano Roosevelt, Generals Walter Short and Delos Emmons, and
Admirals William D. Leahy and Chester Nimitz. The papers from
this collection will be made accessible in full text PDF versions
and will be added to this page over the coming months, beginning
with Major General Green's complete, unpublished manuscript:
Martial Law in Hawaii: December 7, 1941 – April
4, 1943. These papers are among the rich collections
of primary source materials in the field of military law at the U.S.
Army Judge Advocate General's Legal Center & School Library in
Charlottesville, VA . For related materials also available on
this Web site, see the series Enactments
and Approved Papers of the Control Council and Coordinating Committee
