Reviewing recently declassified CIA documents, this book provides a
balanced but critical discussion of the contribution of American
intelligence officials to the Nuremberg war crimes trials.
Giving new details of how senior Nazi war criminals, such as SS
General Karl Wolff, were provided with effective immunity deals,
partly as a reward for their wartime cooperation with US
intelligence officials, including Allen Dulles, former CIA
Director, the author also discusses the role of such officials in
mobilizing the unique resources of a modern intelligence agency to
provide important trial testimony and vital documentary
evidence.
Nazi War Crimes, US Intelligence and Selective Prosecution at
Nuremberg argues that both war crimes prosecutors and intelligence
officials can engage in mutually beneficial collaborations, but
that both sides need to recognise and appreciate the problems that
may arise from the fact that these institutions are required to
operate according to different, and in some cases contradictory,
agendas.
This topical book gives those studying, or with interests in,
international law, criminal law and history an insight into the
debates surrounding international war crimes, within the context of
the Nuremberg war crimes trials.
