Product Description

Synopsis

WWII is over, there is a climate of jubilation and optimism as the Allies look to rebuilding Europe for the future but the perpetrators of Nazi War Crimes have yet to be reckoned with, and the full extent of their atrocities is as yet widely unknown. Today, we have lived with the full knowledge of the extent of Nazi atrocities for over half a century and yet they still retain their power to shock. Imagine what it was like as they were being revealed in the full extent of their horror for the first time. In this book the Judges at the Nuremberg Trials take it in turn to describe the indictments handed down to the defendants and their crimes. The entire history, purpose and method of the Nazi party since its foundation in 1918 is revealed and described in chilling detail.

A wonderful series; but sloppy proofing and high prices 31 Jan 2000

By A Customer

This is such a good idea. The Stationery Office have produced a series of attractive paperbacks containing editions of official papers. Each one describes a "moment in history", and there is a feeling of genuine immediacy. Because these documents are written to perform a function, they have a clarity and directness that many historical accounts lack.

However, the production faults are dreadful. Presumably these were rushed out to meet the millennium/century deadline, but there really is no excuse for the amount of spelling errors, which get worse the further you go through the book. For what they're charging (even at the discount price) they could have hired a proofer.

It would also be useful to have some kind of discussion of the context, or at least a bibliography, but the abruptness of the ending is appropriate enough in this case.
