Nuremberg

The Nuremberg trials took place from November 1945 to October 1946, and today they remain an extraordinary precedent for judging international atrocities in the twentieth century. Joseph E. Persico captures the trial in bold strokes and minute detail--entering the minds of all the key actors though groundbreaking research that includes the private papers of Colonel Burton C. Andrus, the Nuremberg prison psychiatrist and commandant; the letters and journals of the prisoners; and the accounts of the day-to-day struggles, compromises, and convictions among the prosecutors and judges.
