Eric L. Muller
About the Author
Eric L. Muller is a distinguished legal scholar and historian whose work illuminates the intersections of law, civil rights, and American history, particularly during times of national crisis. A professor at the University of North Carolina School of Law, Muller draws on meticulous research and a deep commitment to justice to explore overlooked narratives of resilience and resistance. His acclaimed book, Free to Die for Their Country: The Story of the Japanese American Draft Resisters in World War II (Chicago Series in Law and Society), chronicles the courageous stand of Japanese American men who, while imprisoned in internment camps, refused induction into the U.S. military as a protest against their unconstitutional incarceration. Through this and his broader scholarship, Muller challenges readers to confront the fragility of democratic ideals and the enduring fight for equality under the law.
