About this listen

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.

What the critics say

“Fascinating… The Tusas’ book is one of the best accounts I have read.” ( The New York Times)
All stars
Most Relevant
I really enjoyed this book. It is excellent and covers every detail about the establishment and then the ultimate running of the trial along with the outcomes.

Outlines wonderfully the key debates surround the trials and very thoroughly reviews the cases of each defendant and their defences during the trial.

The chapters on the trial itself are gripping at times, especially in relation to some of the defendants.

Throughout the authors offer excellent legal analysis of the happenings.

If you’re interested in this famous historic trial and want to fully understand it, then you will enjoy it.

I would recommend starting first with “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” by William L Shirer, the very gripping and full and comprehensive account of what the Nuremberg trial was in response to.

Both these books are most excellent.

A very detailed and observant telling of the conclusion of the story of the Second World War. It concisely documents the efforts to provide a fair trial of the monstrous men responsible for the horrors of this war. Well documented and thorough.

Extremely informative and eye opening to hear all of the details of the trials. The narration was great, though I sped it up to 1.25x.
