"A masterly work of military and judicial history." -New York
Times. Telford Taylor's book is a defining piece of World War II
literature, an engrossing and reflective eyewitness account of one
of the most significant events of our century. In 1945, the Allied
nations agreed on a judicial process, rather than summary
execution, to determine the fate of the Nazis following the end of
World War II. Held in Nuremberg, the ceremonial birthplace of the
Nazi Party, the British, American, French, and Soviet leaders
contributed both judges and prosecutors to the series of trials
that would prosecute some of the most prominent politicians,
military leaders and businessmen in Nazi Germany. This is the
definitive history of the Nuremberg crimes trials by one of the key
participants, Telford Taylor, the distinguished lawyer who was a
member of the American prosecution staff and eventually became
chief counsel. In vivid detail, Taylor portrays the unfolding
events as he "saw, heard, and otherwise sensed them at the time,
and not as a detached historian working from the documents might
picture them." Table of Contents: 1 Nuremberg and the Laws of War 2

Words 20 The Judgments of Solomons 21 Judgment: Law, Crime, and
Punishment Taylor describes personal vendettas among the Allied
representatives and the negotiations that preceded the handing down
of sentences. The revelations have not lost their power over the
decades: The chamber is reduced to silence when an SS officer
recounts impassively that his troops rounded up and killed 90,000
Jews, and panic overcomes the head of the German State Bank as it
becomes clear that he knew his institution was receiving jewels and
other valuables taken from the bodies of concentration camp
inmates.
