Since , when I served in Uncle Sam's army in Germany only 25 years after WW2, I have read perhaps a dozen books on German history, looking for insight into how the Germans could have done what they did. Even after all those other books, this one practically made my hair stand on end. The cold detachment of the Nazis, their utter brutality.

The surprise? The disunity of the prosecution team, the major charges that were dropped, and the sort of "stick your finger in the wind" when it came to sentencing. The book is thorough, detailed, and, at times, tedious. It's not about "great reading. Aug 22, Alejandro Teruel rated it liked it Shelves: historia , usb. The impression this book might make on its readers depends very heavily on what they know about the history of Germany from the end of World War I to the end of World War II, the rise and fall of the Third Reich, Nazism, and the Holocaust and other atrocities committed at the time, and the evolving nature of international law, particularly in regard to war crimes.

In his introduction Robert Conot sets out his goals: For the first time, the leaders of a nation were charged with international crimes committed on a scale so vast as to strain belief […] Yet, contrary to the expectations of the participants, the trial has never been fully explored. Although the record has furnished a documentary bonanza for histories of the Third Reich, there has been an absence of knowledge and comprehension of the trial except.

Thus, this statement and the title of the book builds up clear expectations that focus on the trial itself. This seems to be reflected in the structure of the book as set forward by Conot in his Acknowledgments and Methodology : Part I: Crime and Punishment -the origination of the trial concept and organization of the tribunal. Part II: Interrogation and Indictment -the imprisonment of the accused at Nuremberg and the preparation of the case. Part IV: Defense -the testimony of the defendants and their witnesses.

Part V: Judgment -the deliberations of the judges, their verdict, and the aftermath. Thus he attempts to explicitly inject 2 and 3 into parts I, II, and III.

In my opinion, this is not entirely successful and makes for a rather clumsy and certainly very slow first half of this six hundred page book. The author devotes very little space to the first part less than thirty pages , a third of which at least is really the story of two escapees from Auschwitz and thus is really an attempt to provide two concrete, personal stories the reader can grasp and empathize with.

Part two some sixty pages is mainly devoted to trying to provide biographical and character sketches of the dramatis personae, that is the accused, the judges, the prosecutors and the attorneys for the defense. The history is written in a simplified and sometimes overly dramatized way. The closing pages of the last chapter of the book briefly looks at what, if anything, the Nuremberg trails accomplished in terms of international justice: In December the United Nations passed a Genocide Convention, calling upon every state to take action against groups committed to the destruction of people on religious, ethnic,national, or racial grounds.

But the United States where segregation still held sway, refused to ratify the convention, and the Soviet Union did so only with reservations. Forced labor is outlawed [ What greater irony than the fact that the Jews, whom Hitler equated with bolshevism, have been the principal sufferers of repression in the Soviet Union! The United States has, on and off, practiced ideological imperialism. The French, in attempting to perpetuate colonialism, engaged in some of the same kinds of terror for which the Nuremberg defendants were condemned.

The British, French and Israelis attacked Egypt in The Soviets have crushed nationalist movements in East Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Afghanistan. Brishfire wars have proliferated. For all their faults, the Nuremberg trials courageously helped denounce and judge the horrors and crimes supposedly civilized nations were capable of, but the struggle against the darker recesses of humankind capable of committing such atrocities is every bit as relevant and pertinent world-wide today as it was one hundred years ago when World War I ended and the seeds for World War II were being ploughed.

Jan 26, Stephen Rynkiewicz added it. Our family papers show keen interest in the evils and evildoers of World War II, and not just because my cousin Herb Gawronski was a busy judge in Allied-occupied Germany.

Conot's courtroom drama certainly fades alongside the breathtaking scale of war crimes: Germans on the home front who had not recognized the Final Solution also failed to ask about emaciated foreigners who replaced their conscripted co-workers, or healthy elders at the old-age home suddenly pronounced dead from lingering illne Our family papers show keen interest in the evils and evildoers of World War II, and not just because my cousin Herb Gawronski was a busy judge in Allied-occupied Germany.

Conot's courtroom drama certainly fades alongside the breathtaking scale of war crimes: Germans on the home front who had not recognized the Final Solution also failed to ask about emaciated foreigners who replaced their conscripted co-workers, or healthy elders at the old-age home suddenly pronounced dead from lingering illness.

The evasive defendants at Nuremberg embody not only the banality of evil, but also the sin of comfortable ignorance. This was a sort of dissapointment because I expected something else. About three quarters of this book describes the crimes that the accused performed and not so much on the trial itself.

Unfortunately, this was what I was looking for and therefore after pages, I decided to let this one go. Oct 30, Joe rated it really liked it.

Journalist Robert Conot , whose parents died in the Holocaust, manages to combine an enormous amount of material on the trial's original conception and organization, its proceedings, and all the personalities involved--the 24 defendants, the judges, the prosecution and defense attorneys, and others--into an engrossing narrative.

Trivia Spencer Tracy 's eleven-minute closing speech was filmed in one take using multiple cameras shooting simultaneously. Goofs At the end of the movie a graphic states that 99 people were tried and sentenced at Nuremberg and that by the date of the movie none remained in prison.

Some critics have pointed out that Nuremberg defendants Rudolf Hess and others were still imprisoned in Spandau. However, Hess and the other major defendants were tried by the International Military Tribunal with judges and prosecutors from each of the four victorious Allied powers.

The caption in the film states that the statistic refers only to the Nuremberg trials "held in the American sector. Quotes Judge Dan Haywood : Janning, to be sure, is a tragic figure.

Top review. The logic of evil. I once read a review of this film that criticized the fact that the American chief prosecutor as played by Richard Widmark was a less sympathetic and engaging character than the defending lawyer, Herr Rolfe as portrayed by Max Schell. Schell's Oscar winning performance illuminated the "shattering truth" that the film reveals about Nazism. Extremely able and educated men were able to rationalize what they did with an irresistible logic.

They loved their country and, in a time of a national crisis, found it necessary to implement certain measures. As expounded by Rolfe, it all sounds so logical and reasonable. He also cites the fact that many world leaders actually commended Hitler upon his leadership in getting Germany out of the Depression as swiftly as he did.

Widmark's character, Lawson, is understandably appalled by Herr Rolfe's defence of the indefencible and therefore he pulls no punches.

He wants those responsible to be held fully responsible but he finds Germans who are ready to extenuate and rationalize. After he is told to tone down his demands for justice, Lawson acerbically retorts, "There are no Nazis in Germany.

It was those damned Eskimos. His explanation as he eats his lunch is devoid of any hint of human empathy for the victims he has so blithely exterminated.

His was a job that was the logical extension of a policy and he carried it out with a detached and technical logic. The key point that the film makes is that to be logical is not always to be morally right. FAQ 5. What is 'Judgement at Nuremberg' about? Is 'Judgement at Nuremberg' based on a book?
