Book on Nuremberg Trials

[Vadim K]

Can anyone recommend a good book on Nuremberg Trials? I see a number of them floating around on Ebay but dont know which ones are actually worth reading. Thanks!

[Dave Suter]

I've read a few. I like the one by David Irving, although all of them have their good points.

[George Stimson]

"Nuremberg: The last Battle"

I liked David Irving's book too. It's definitely not the same old same old.

Ok, I'll check David Irving's book out, thanks.

Vincent, good link, I think I have seen that site before but never bothered to go into details. Now that I looked at it closer, it is actually interesting reading.

Anyone read or heard of "Anatomy of the Nuremberg Trials" by Telford Taylor?

[George Stimson]

"Anatomy of the Nuremberg Trials"

If you want a well-rounded look at the trials I'd say it's essential, since it was written by the Chief Prosecutor at the proceedings. But remember that Taylor's viewpoint is hardly unbiased.

Vadim,

*jumping up and down* oh boy, oh boy! THE book???

[George Stimson]

A couple more

I Was The Nuremberg Jailer by Burton Andrus (the American commander in charge of the prison during the trial) is an interesting memoir. Another "must have" (although I don't like it) is Nuremberg Diary by G. M. Gilbert, a psychologist who interviewed the defendants.

You are evil, evil people, all of y'all. Evil, I tells ya!!!
I asked for a BOOK! A BOOK! IN SINGULAR! Now I got to buy all these books AND read them. And Ralph hasnt even told me about THE Book yet.
Do we know if anyone ever gotten divorced because of this site?

I recommend NOT reading anything by David Irving. He is a Holocaust revisionist who's books have been discredited by almost all historians!

[Dave Suter]

IMO, there's nothing wrong with Irving's books. He does his own research and comes to his own conclusions. By the way, what is a 'Holocaust revisionist'? If you are implying that Irving denies that the Holocaust happened you haven't read his books.

[George Stimson]

I think that David Irving's books are great!
