Report from Nuremberg

The International War Crimes Trial

De: Harold Burson

Narrado por: Christian Rummel, Richard McGonagle, Gabrielle De Cuir, Kristoffer Tabori, Arthur Morey, Joe Nocera, Robert Forster, Scott Brick, Stefan Rudnicki

Audible brings to life through dramatic performance the 1945-1946 radio broadcast reports covering the greatest courtroom drama of the 20th century - the Nuremberg trials. The original broadcasts have been lost forever, but the verbatim text - written by Harold Burson, founding chairman of one of the world’s leading public relations firms, Burson Marsteller, who at the time was a reporter for the Armed Forces Network - has been newly interpreted by an ensemble of some of our fine actors. This original production, published here for the first time and only in audio, blends journalism, history, re-enactment and performance, and reimagines what it was like to experience first-hand this groundbreaking trial and to witness close-up some of the most infamous figures in recent world history: members of the Nazi ruling class. The production is being released on the anniversary of the opening of the first and most famous trial, November 19, 1945.

Radio broadcasts covering the trial

This is a wonderful treat for students of WWII. It is the armed forces network reports from the trials. They interview many different people, so you get to know the terminology and setting very well. The reporting quality of the AFN is excellent, a real treat. In fact, it feels like the trial is happening now without knowing the outcome. They don't cover the executions, so don't get your hopes up for a big ending. It's the unknown at the beginning that is so interesting. I went through it twice, which I highly recommend.

Disappointed. OK book but short on detail.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Not much depth of information about the trials or defendants. Interesting but I didn't learn much.

Interesting version of Nuremberg
