Well worth the read

Another good read for those interested in this field

Grand Book

This a brillant book in how it shifts through the various documents in order to make the reader fully aware of what has happened. Marrus allows for a good mixture of both procecuting and defending testimony from the Trial and the various confrences during, before and after the Trial. He gives a very good documentation of how the Allies came to teh conviction of 19 Nazis. As a historian of the Trials, I recfonmmend it to all who want to learn more of the Trials.

Well done,thorough but not overwhelming>

The author has done a very good job of using primary sources to tell the story of the Allied attempt to be fair when punishing the Nazi leadership. I was impressed with his ability to tell the story and allow the reader to make his or her own conclusions. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the History of the Nazis and the Worlds response after World War II.
