The Nuremberg Trial

Here is a gripping account of the major postwar trial of the Nazi hierarchy in World War II. The Nuremberg Trial brilliantly recreates the trial proceedings and offers a reasoned, often profound examination of the processes that created international law. From the whimpering of Kaltenbrunner and Ribbentrop on the stand to the icy coolness of Goering, each participant is vividly drawn.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Fascinating… The Tusas’ book is one of the best accounts I have read.” ( The New York Times)

If you need a good sleep..

I fell asleep constantly while listening to this. The reader I’m sorry to point out was why. I would suggest watching the original trial or even the movie. Both are fascinating!

I was there

The presentation makes me think I was there. It was exceptional in its description and depth of information without getting lost in the minutiae

Well researched and chilling.

As a history buff, anything about WW2 has always fascinated me. What were the people who committed these atrocities thinking? Well, in this well researched and thorough examination of the trial of these sad degenerate men's defense at the Wholly unprecedented Nurenmberg military tribunal, we get a look the precursor to the World Court. You get an in depth look at the thought process behind the trial, the idea that it couldn't just be a kangaroo court, but a real, fair judicial process that had a fair chance of aquittal if the charges couldnt be proven. You get a look at the personality of the judges and prosecutors, and the success and failures they had. IN fact, this tribunal actually had effects on national laws as well, and set precedents from every international criminal trial to come. This is a must read for any person interested in history. Ralph Cosham does an excellent job narrating in a cool, professional manner, especially when talking about some of the details of the atrocities.

The pretense of justice.

Too long and boring. Too he much detail, most of which was not needed. Could have been more concise.

Captivating beyond just WW2 interested

While it’s an amazing in-depth look at the trial from every conceivable angle, this book is much more by asking the question: how do you hold a fair trial for a group representing evil and presumed guilty by all. The account looks at the lengths the court went to make sure there was as fast and commonly accepted verdict by all parties. It also touches on the human elements such as how did those involved in the trial keep entertained at night or what solution was developed for instant simultaneous translations. What a great read
