Using new sources-ground-breaking research in the papers of the Nuremberg prison psychiatrist and commandant, the letters and journals of prisoners, and accounts of the judges and prosecutors as they struggled through each day making compromises and steeling their convictions-Joseph Persico retells the story of Nuremberg, combining sweeping history with psychological insight.

" Persico captures both the sweep and the detail of the war crimes trials in an account that sometimes reads like a Ludlum növel." -Los Angeles Times Vissza
