Nuremberg: Infamy on Trial

Nuremberg: Infamy on Trial

by Joseph E Persico (Author)

Synopsis

The Nuremburg trials remain, after nearly half a century, the benchmark for judging international crimes. Using new sources--ground-breaking research in the papers of the Nuremburg prison psychiatrist and commandant, the letters and journals of prisoners, and accounts of the judges and prosecutors as they struggled through each day making compromises and steeling their convictions--Joseph Persico retells the story of Nuremberg, combining sweeping history with psychological insight. Here are brilliant, chilling portraits of the Nazi warlords and riveting descriptions of the tensions between law and vengeance, between East and West, of the friction already present in the early stages of the Cold War.
