Sprecher, who was assistant to the American Chief Prosecutor at the Nuremberg trial, presents a two-volume account of the trial starting with a summary of the events leading to World War II and ending with a critique of the year-long trial's place in history. In 122 chapters, he covers the Nazi seizure of power, the oppression and persecution of various groups in Germany and early measures against the Jews, the vast rearmament of Germany, Nazi aggressions against neighboring states, the establishment of concentration camps, and the extermination of Jews, Gypsies, and other minority groups. He also describes the complex and often difficult process of establishing and conducting a multinational, multilingual war crimes trial. Each volume contains several b&w photographs. Annotation c.
