The Nuremberg War Crimes Trial, 1945-46: A Documentary History (The Bedford Series in History and Culture) Edition Unstated

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.

Marrus has provided an excellent, if brief, treatise on the Nuremberg Trials.

very good documentary of the horrors of Nazi's and the beginning of the application of world wide rule of law. great read for students who do not get enough WW 11 history in our schools.

As described!

I expexted to read more of the testimonies but what was there wasn't very interesting. maybe that is the way it was. the book was very dry reading. i still haven't finished reading it and it is a rather slim volume.

Okay, purchased it for class...

AAA+++

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.

This book is concise and accurate for those looking for a brief review. a good read and not overwhelming in detail.
