Description
Organized in the wake of WWII by the victorious Allies, the Nuremberg Trials were intended to hold the Nazis to account for their crimes and to restore a sense of justice to a world devastated by violence. As Francine Hirsch reveals in her groundbreaking new book, a major piece of the Nuremberg story has routinely been left out: the critical role of the Soviet Union. Soviet Judgment at Nuremberg: A New History of the International Military Tribunal after World War II offers a startlingly new view of the International Military Tribunal and a fresh perspective on the movement for international human rights that it helped launch.
