Here is a gripping account of the major postwar trial of the Nazi hierarchy in World War II. The Nuremberg Trial brilliantly recreates the trial proceedings and offers a reasoned, often profound examination of the processes that created international law. From the whimpering of Kaltenbrunner and Ribbentrop on the stand to the icy coolness of Goering, each participant is vividly drawn.

Editorial reviews

Courtroom dramas have always consumed the public's attention. There is a certain high-stakes drama that takes place in the halls of justice. Ann and John Tusa have collaborated to capture those emotions in their historical study of The Nuremberg Trial. The Nuremberg Trial isn't some bland textbook; the Tusas' personable narration delivers to listeners the countless personal stories at the heart of one of history's most infamous court battles. A deft performance by Ralph Cosham only serves to accentuate the care Ann and John Tusa have taken in relaying the facts of Nuremberg with humanity and insight.

I fell asleep constantly while listening to this. The reader I’m sorry to point out was why. I would suggest watching the original trial or even the movie. Both are fascinating!

As a history buff, anything about WW2 has always fascinated me. What were the people who committed these atrocities thinking? Well, in this well researched and thorough examination of the trial of these sad degenerate men's defense at the Wholly unprecedented Nurenmberg military tribunal, we get a look the precursor to the World Court. You get an in depth look at the thought process behind the trial, the idea that it couldn't just be a kangaroo court, but a real, fair judicial process that had a fair chance of aquittal if the charges couldnt be proven. You get a look at the personality of the judges and prosecutors, and the success and failures they had. IN fact, this tribunal actually had effects on national laws as well, and set precedents from every international criminal trial to come. This is a must read for any person interested in history. Ralph Cosham does an excellent job narrating in a cool, professional manner, especially when talking about some of the details of the atrocities.

Well researched and chilling.

Too long and boring. Too he much detail, most of which was not needed. Could have been more concise.

The pretense of justice.

While it’s an amazing in-depth look at the trial from every conceivable angle, this book is much more by asking the question: how do you hold a fair trial for a group representing evil and presumed guilty by all. The account looks at the lengths the court went to make sure there was as fast and commonly accepted verdict by all parties. It also touches on the human elements such as how did those involved in the trial keep entertained at night or what solution was developed for instant simultaneous translations. What a great read

Captivating beyond just WW2 interested
