About this listen

Here is a gripping account of the major postwar trial of the Nazi hierarchy in World War II. The Nuremberg Trial brilliantly recreates the trial proceedings and offers a reasoned, often profound examination of the processes that created international law. From the whimpering of Kaltenbrunner and Ribbentrop on the stand to the icy coolness of Goering, each participant is vividly drawn.

Editor reviews

Courtroom dramas have always consumed the public's attention. There is a certain high-stakes drama that takes place in the halls of justice. Ann and John Tusa have collaborated to capture those emotions in their historical study of The Nuremberg Trial. The Nuremberg Trial isn't some bland textbook; the Tusas' personable narration delivers to listeners the countless personal stories at the heart of one of history's most infamous court battles. A deft performance by Ralph Cosham only serves to accentuate the care Ann and John Tusa have taken in relaying the facts of Nuremberg with humanity and insight.

Critic reviews

“Fascinating… The Tusas’ book is one of the best accounts I have read.” ( The New York Times)
All stars
Most relevant  
The narrator reads well but has an exhausting lisp and an annoyinh tendency to add "ah" at the beginning of most of the sentences. "ah-subject", "ah-trial", "ah-goering". At some stage I even had to check if it was Jackson or "ah-Jackson"... The book iyself is brilliantly written, never boring, to the point that I persisted with it and tried to filter out narrator's flaws.
Overall, great book and if you have a chance and are interested in the subject, get it in paper.

A great book spoilt by the narration!

A calm and understated telling of what happened in the running up to, during and after Nuremberg. So many things I'd never heard before, or thought of. Gives a good perspective.

Very easy to listen to, highly recommend

This is an incredible book and beautifully read, From the very beginning a picture is painted of all the players from the lawyers judges and defendants. I have an interest in the law and WWII so I found the detail and descriptions intense. It is 24 hours long, but I could have listened to more. This is so much more than 5 stars its an incredible piece of history.
