Summary

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.

Very informative

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

Very in-depth look into the legal matters behind the trial and how the laws played out in the courtroom. also sheds more light on the defendants and what happened to them after the trial.

Well worth your time!

Thoroughly detailed but never boring, sprinkled with occasional humour. As long as it was, I would have appreciated some direct transcripts of what was said, not just the author's summary and opinion on what was said.

Enjoyable

forensic breakdown of the horrors and stunted thinking on Nazi leaders. scary that some good people can become slaves to such warped insanity

tyrants can be banal
