Between November 1945 and October 1946, 22 high-ranking Nazi officials defended themselves before the International Military Tribunal. Reproducing significant sections of the trial record, this volume also outlines the background to the trial, traces the preparations made by the principle actors in the courtroom, and considers how the prosecution, defense, and tribunal dealt with the counts against the accused.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book is superb history, compellingly told. Marrus brings his lucid historical talent to the organization of the primary documents, which largely tell the story for him. This is exactly what the college student seeking a thorough (but not compendious) overview of the subject needs."

This review is from: The Nuremberg War Crimes Trial, 1945-46: A Documentary History (The Bedford Series in History and Culture) (Paperback)
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.

Grand Book,
This review is from: The Nuremberg War Crimes Trial, 1945-46: A Documentary History (The Bedford Series in History and Culture) (Paperback)
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.
4.0 out of 5 stars
The Banality of Evil,
This review is from: The Nuremberg War Crimes Trial, 1945-46: A Documentary History (The Bedford Series in History and Culture) (Paperback)
Susan, it was certain to be "dull" testimony in a sense. These Nazi war criminal were educated men who thought of their conduct as unexceptionable. Hannah Arendt described the Nazi atrocities as comprised of the "banality of evil" in describing Eichmann's testimony in Israel.
