A wonderfully compelling examination of the infamous episode immortalized by Voltaire inCandide. Admiral John Byng was shot on the deck of the HMS Monarch on March 14, 1757. His offense: following his superiors’ orders. The British navy sent his poorly armed ship to fight the French, using outdated tactics. The offensive failed. Though Byng was cleared of cowardice, he received a death sentence for "error of judgment." He died…giving the signal to the firing squad for his own execution.
