Members Reviews:

Justice is served

Very interesting reading,it shows that no one is above the law,the German war machine had it's day in Court and justice was served,it shows the barbaric and criminal side of those involved. It's a must read if you want to understand the reality of what happened to Germany during those dark days of war.

More of an overview.

The scope of this book is vast. It covers the process of how the trails were developed until they are finished and sentences handed out. Some sections were more detailed than others and for this reason alone I have rated only 3 stars. The writing was good. The subject matter interesting; however, there were some sections that read more like the opening rather than a complete section. In particular was the section on the psychological profile of each prisoners. This was my main interest and thus my disappointment. On the upside this book does a great job explaining how the trails developed and were carried out. I am glad a I read the book, but it as not exactly what I was hoping learn.

clear easy to read look at famous trial.

This is a clear succinct description of the Nuremberg trials of major Nazi war criminals. It explains the details well and also looks at the prosecutors and the political situation. It doesn't get too bogged down with some of the judgements and just has highlights of some parts making it pretty easy to understand and take in. overall a good book and explanation of the trials.

Passable attempt to capture the highlights

A decent overview of the trials but I feel it skips a great deal of the detail and really does not strike me as having been written by anyone with a great deal of expertise in the subject at hand. Using phrases such as the "banality of evil" which was coined to describe Eichman for another defendant struck me askew as did some of the descriptions of events which seemed sensationalized.

Five Stars

Good in it helps to remember just how horrible the 3rd Reich actually was.
