John Jackson excavates a forgotten case from the year 1917 in Britain , a tragedy where political might and "national unity" became more important than the lifes of innocents, to discuss the boundaries between law and politics in democratic societies in times of wars or other emergencies. Alice Wheeldons case , the conviction of a radical british family, holds similarities to and lessons for today, for example about the "war on terror".
