The first tribunal to judge war criminals was formed at the
close of World War II in the German city of Nuremberg. Knowing
that atrocities are common to warfare, the United States and its
allies set out at the outset of the trial to prove that many in
Hitler's Nazi regime had exceeded the scope of military
barbarism and, instead, actively pursued crimes against
humanity. From court transcripts, newspaper reportage, and
personal remembrances, the Nuremberg Trial and its ramifications
come to life in Greenhaven Press' anthology. "The contributions
in the eclectic mix come from individuals such as Eleanor
Roosevelt, actress June Havoc, and hobo Box-Car Bertha, with
each person's perspective taking readers directly into the
experience through details and eye-opening observations." --
