Nuremberg: Infamy on Trial by Joseph E. Persico
3.0
dark informative medium-paced

 After the conclusion of World War II, the Allied forces, (United States, Great Britain, France, and Soviet Union), came together to form the International Military Tribunal. This is more commonly referred to as the Nuremberg Trials, for the location of the court proceedings. Seven organizations and twenty four major war criminals were indicted for the activities during the war to start out with. After the conclusion of the initial trials, more proceedings were held at this location. This book gives an outline of the indictments, the crimes, the players on both sides of the courtroom, and the outcomes.

This book was gifted to me by my wonderful sister, so I loved it for that reason to begin with. It was very informative, and offered a great overview and valuable facts about the trials and the people that were charged. I do want to learn more about the subsequent trials, so I will have to be on the lookout for a book like that. This was a pretty good book, especially since it was a gift.
