Title:
The Andersonville Trial . . . A Man Who Lost His Soul . . .

Description:
A scene from PBS's "The Andersonville Trial". Broadcast in 1970, this presentation depicted the post-Civil War trial of Captain Henry Wirz, commandant of the infamous prison in Andersonville, GA where 14,000 Union soldiers died. The scene shown here gets at the heart of the matter: a man who could not disobey his superiors allowing them to kill, vicariously, through him. The actor is Richard Baserhart giving the performance of a lifetime. Previous to this he was seen as Admiral Harriman Nelson in the 60's Sci-fi series "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" and as Ishmael in the motion picture "Moby Dick" a movie produced in the 50's.
