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.

Thorough and complete overview

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.

Very obviously written by a Brit.

I suppose it was pretty hard to be unbiassed at that point. Excellent for the era it was Written in

Wow

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.

Details

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.

A Compelling Story Competently Told

The story being communicated is fascinating, however, the book is wierdly organized so as to make it really dry at the start and hard to follow at times.

For example, he gives a short biography of the Defendants at the end of the book which would have been really helpful in advance to make the narrative easier to follow.

It's about Nazi crimes & I use it to fall asleep

I know this is a 25 hour book regarding Nazi War crimes , however the narrator speaks with so little inflexion and in this monotonous cadence that I listen to it to fall asleep, which I almost always do. I'm Jewish, I know a lot of the horrors of this, but this book is literally someone reading out a history textbook in a monotonal british accent. i challenge you to listen to it while tired and not fall asleep
