About this listen

Here is a gripping account of the major postwar trial of the Nazi hierarchy in World War II. The Nuremberg Trial brilliantly recreates the trial proceedings and offers a reasoned, often profound examination of the processes that created international law. From the whimpering of Kaltenbrunner and Ribbentrop on the stand to the icy coolness of Goering, each participant is vividly drawn.

Editorial reviews

Courtroom dramas have always consumed the public's attention. There is a certain high-stakes drama that takes place in the halls of justice. Ann and John Tusa have collaborated to capture those emotions in their historical study of The Nuremberg Trial. The Nuremberg Trial isn't some bland textbook; the Tusas' personable narration delivers to listeners the countless personal stories at the heart of one of history's most infamous court battles. A deft performance by Ralph Cosham only serves to accentuate the care Ann and John Tusa have taken in relaying the facts of Nuremberg with humanity and insight.

The best book I’ve listened to on the subject of Nuremberg. The most detailed account of the trial. It detail does get boring at some points especially with some of the lesser known criminals. But you cannot fault the book for being thorough.

Definitely the best book related to the main Nuremberg trial.

Incredible detail.

Well constructed and the presentation was excellent. It captured the atmosphere of the time (or what I imagine it was like) and portrayed the characters so very well. Highly recommended listed,

Interesting to the End

In a period where histories lessons are largely forgotten this account of the Nuremberg trial, it’s foundations and the arguments of law used to legitimise proceedings comes as a timely reminder that civilisations ought to aspire to better.

A well thought out and told account of an important moment in western history.

Illustrating the importance and basis of international law

An edifying book of remarkable scope that examines the Nuremberg Trials in much detail, with a particular emphasis on the procedural and tactical challenges the convening parties faced. The subject I assumed I would find least interesting - the legal basis and consequent articulation - was one of the more engaging themes, expertly presented by the authors. One of the best books on any historical subject I’ve listened to.

Excellent and thoroughly engaging
