The Nuremberg trial, culminating in the death sentence by hanging for prominent Nazi leaders, is genuinely considered 'the most significant trial in history'. It represents not only the trial of criminals who terrorized the world for twelve years, but also one of the most sorrowful periods history has witnessed. This volume doesn't provide the complete verbatim reports and minutes of this extraordinary trial. Instead, it quotes the most salient passages, synthesizes them, and offers a compelling yet rigorous summary. All information is drawn from the most reliable sources and official archives, with every quoted word having been uttered. Joe J. Heydecker attended the trial as a journalist and radio reporter throughout its ten-month duration. The book authentically brings to life figures such as Gœring, Ribbentrop, Streicher, Fritzsche, Keitel, Rosenberg, Hess, and Schirach. This is achieved not only through their interrogation responses, courtroom conduct, and defense strategies, but also via psychiatric assessments, accounts from those who knew them, their involvement in the Reichstag fire, and Hitler's suicide.
