"Nuremburg: Infamy on Trial" By Joseph E. Persico
The Nuremburg trials remain, after nearly a half a century, the benchmark for judging international crimes. Using new sources - ground-breaking research in the papers of the Nuremburg prison psychiatrist and commandant, the letters and journals of the prisioners, and accounts of the judges and prosecutors as they struggled through each day making compromises and steeling their convictions- this is the retelling of the story of Nuremburg, combining sweeping history with psychological insight.

Here are brilliant, chilling portraits of the Nazis on trial and riveting descriptions of the tensions between law and vengeance, between East and West, and of the friction already present in the early stages of the Cold War.
