Description
The Nuremberg trials remain a benchmark for judging international crimes, nearly half a century after they took place. Joseph Persico's account of the trials draws on new sources, including the papers of the Nuremberg prison psychiatrist and commandant, prisoner letters and journals, and the accounts of judges and prosecutors. This combination of sweeping history and psychological insight provides a chilling portrait of the Nazi warlords and the tensions between law and vengeance. Persico's retelling of the Nuremberg story is a riveting exploration of the complexities of the trials, including the friction between East and West and the early stages of the Cold War. The book offers a nuanced understanding of the trials, combining the actions of the wartime allies with the Nazi elite. By examining the inner workings of the Nuremberg trials, Persico sheds light on a pivotal moment in history, revealing the human side of the events that shaped the world.
