"the law or war" ?

"... As Professor Kastenberg has noted, while Turchin may not have been concerned with the law or war, ..."

I know what these words literally mean, but it doesn't seem to make sense. Surely Turchin WAS concerned with war.

Is it just a typo for "the law OF war" (rules of engagement, treatment of prisoners and civilians, and so on), something I would certainly believe he didn't care about? TooManyFingers (talk) 20:53, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Hang rape

Is gang rape sanctioned if done by northern soldiers? The pardon and promotion of Turchin by the northern union president Lincoln speaks volumes. This was not an isolated event. Black women were raped by northern soldiers with impunity. ( rape of Columbia SC) Northern apologists can never be forgiven for their promotion of these crimes and double standards. The genocide of the native Americans that followed is unspeakable. 76.114.138.253 (talk) 16:25, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Ivan Turchin → John B. Turchin – The predominance of the higher-quality works refer to Turchin as either John B. Turchin or John Basil Turchin. The references in this article mostly refer to him as John B. Turchin or John Basil Turchin, and both Generals in Blue and Civil War High Commands refer to him first as John Basil Turchin, with his Russian name in parantheses. I came across this as both the book I am currently reading (Welcher's The Union Army: Organization and Operations) and the book before that (Cozzens' The Shipwreck of Their Hopes) use the form John B. Turchin. I do not have strong feelings between John Basil Turchin or John B. Turchin, but I believe the current title is inferior to either of these two options.
