A 2002 book by Nick Bleszynski, "Shoot Straight, You Bastards': The True Story Behind The Killing of 'Breaker' Morant", promoted the "scapegoat" argument. It said that while Morant and the others probably committed some crimes and may well have deserved disciplinary action, there is now persuasive evidence from several sources to show that the Kitchener 'no prisoners' order did indeed exist, that it was widely known among both the British and Australian troops and was performed by many disparate units. It also asserted that the court-martial's procedures were flawed.
