Hitler’s Generals on Trial: The Last War Crimes Tribunal At Nuremburg

Valerie Geneviève Hébert (University of Toronto). Hitler’s Generals on Trial: The Last War Crimes Tribunal At Nuremburg (University Press of Kansas, 2010).

“A thoughtful and sobering work. Hébert delivers a complicated story with clarity and balance: a story of noble ideals that fell short in practice, of national self-delusion and political compromise, of revealed truths that took generations to sink in, and of legal innovations that still affect us today.”
—Geoffrey P. Megargee, author of Inside Hitler’s High Command
