Summary

The Nuremberg Trials (Volume 10) serves as a pivotal documentation of the groundbreaking post-World War II tribunal that sought justice for the most egregious war crimes. This volume meticulously compiles the texts of the proceedings, including the pivotal arguments presented by both the prosecution and defense, alongside the testimonies of key witnesses. The authors present a sober and analytical literary style that reflects the gravity of the events at hand, while embedding the trials within a broader historical context of international law and human rights. This volume delves deeply into the legal intricacies and ethical ramifications of justice in wartime, contributing significantly to the discourse on collective accountability and moral responsibility in military conflicts. The International Military Tribunal, established in the aftermath of the Holocaust and the Second World War, was instrumental in defining the principles of war crimes. Comprised of judges and legal experts from the Allied nations, this tribunal aimed to confront the failings of humanity by bringing high-ranking officials to justice. Their direct involvement in the trials provides a unique perspective that enhances our understanding of the legal challenges faced in prosecuting such unprecedented atrocities, forming a critical response to the tragedies that unfolded during the war. This volume is indispensable for readers interested in law, history, and ethics, as it not only chronicles a defining moment in international jurisprudence but also provokes reflective thought on the mechanisms of justice and humanity's ongoing struggle against tyranny. Scholars, law students, and history enthusiasts alike will find this work essential for grasping the complexities of war crimes, paving the way for a deeper understanding of contemporary issues in international law.

    The existence of German-speaking units fighting for the Allied cause during WW2 has remained largely a well-kept secret. But seventy-five years on these units' contribution to victory needs to be fully acknowledged. 
 
 
 
Prime Minister Winston Churchill had no qualms about using native German speakers from Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Germany itself. The majority were Jews who had fled persecution. 
 
 
 
Two examples of these secret units were X Troop Commandos and the Special Interrogation Group. 
 
 
 
The SIG men deserve their legendary status. They fought, and often died, wearing Wehmacht uniform. As this book reveals that, after infiltrating Field Marshal Rommel's Afrika Korps, one detachment even drew Nazi pay. Once the existence of SIG units became known, their immediate execution on capture was ordered, unless their temporary reprieve would reveal intelligence under torture. 
 
 
 
We learn how Churchill's initiative was copied by both Americans and Russians. 
 
 
 
Post-war SIG and X Troop survivors joined British special forces or were used to hunt down Nazi war criminals. 
 
 
 
All this and more is covered in this groundbreaking book by a writer who is both a leading historian and foreign correspondent.

From the Home School of Hard Knocks, our four ADD and ADHD kids have taught us more about coping and planning ahead than any four year college degree could have, especially when it comes to understanding what goes on in the mind of a five-year-old in a Buzz Lightyear costume flying on a treadmill, To Infinity, and Beyond.
