The Nuremberg Trial

By: John Tusa, Ann Tusa

Narrated by: Ralph Cosham

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.

Critic reviews

“Fascinating… The Tusas’ book is one of the best accounts I have read.” ( The New York Times)

Extremely biased

It is too bad the authors were so biased against all the prosecutors other than the British team. The book was well researched and gave great insights into the defendents, but lost credibility with the extreme bias. The French and Russian teams were all but ignored, the American team was denigrated as a bunch of incompetents. Only the British were shown in a favorable light. The book was well read.

Good coverage of Nuremberg tribunal with a British bias

Starting with the discussion about the need to a trial through the formation of the charter and the trial itself, a good history, but with some British bias (except for repeated digs at the foreign office). The authors deride the Nazi euphemism of the polish problem and the Jewish problem, without acknowledging their roots in the euphemism of Henry VIII and the Kings great matter” for which he murdered Thomas More. Their repeated snarky comments about Col Andrus diminishes them not him. The door focuses more on the proceedings than Joseph Persico’ book which is written in a “you are there”style. They omit the fairly well substantiated charge that Lt Jack Wheelis gave Goering the cyanide pill in return for gifts that Goering gave him, something for which Wheelis should have been courtmartialed.

Family Experience

I am particularly interested in the Nuremberg Trials because my grandfather was Secretary General of same and my teenage father was an intern labeling evidence. This experience marked them both.

I’ve read Judged at Nuremberg and Nuremberg Diary, but find this new version just as freamsh and newly interesting.

This should be mandatory reading for all American teenagers.

What an extraordinary tale

My wife and I have listened to this book twice. We have researched the individuals and have had a great time doing it.

The reader has a wonderful voice and really made the story.

Amazing book!

This book is a great listen. It will really open your eyes to the atrocities committed by the Nazi’s-highly entertaining and wonderfully narrated a must listen!!
