The Nuremberg War crimes trial 1945-46 : a brief history with documents / [compiled by] Michael R. Marrus, University of Toronto.

Between November 1945 and October 1946, 22 high-ranking Nazi officials defended themselves before the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg. This book reproduces sections of the Nuremberg trial record, with an introduction that outlines the background to the proceedings, traces the preparations made by the principle actors in the courtroom, and considers how the prosecution, defense, and the tribunal dealt with the counts against the accused. Documents include material on the preparation of the case against the German leaders, perceptions of the trial by a member of the American prosecution team, and a memorandum by Telford Taylor on the possibility of a future trial, focusing on the murder of European Jews.
