Nuremberg

The Reckoning

De: William F. Buckley Jr.

Narrado por: Stuart Langston

Nuremberg's Palace of Justice, 1945, was the scene of a trial without precedent in history, a trial that continues to haunt the modern world.

Leading the listener into the palace is Sebastian, a young German-American whose fate is entwined with the lives and deaths of some towering figures of 20th-century history, including Hermann Goering and Adolf Hitler. In a gripping account of war makers who must face the consequences of their actions, Nuremberg: The Reckoning flows through Warsaw, Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and finally Nuremberg, as Sebastian comes to terms with his family legacy and his national identity.

I recommend this book

I throughly enjoyed reading this book. I recommend it to everybody that I know. It shows the narrative about the so called I was only following orders.

I like historical fictional when l can rely on the author being factual.

l learned about the trials that l had heard of but hadn't any idea how they were set up and run. Gripping story that was well read.

Interesting historical perspective but ...

This historical fiction gave some interesting factual perspective of the international Nuremberg trials but was encountered by a laborious main plot and a series of subplots that went nowhere.

Narrator had a very monotone style of reading .

I liked the story, but I struggled to listen. Narrator extremely monotone which took away the life of the story.

I was very moved of course. but didn't learn anything new. Good characters, interesting ending.
