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.
Summary
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.

A Little Dry At Points, But Very Good
A very interesting history of the trial told from a legal point of view mostly.
It is a little dry, especially at the beginning but rewards the listener if they stick with it.
Recommended.

Good read
A highly detailed and well read account of the Nuremberg Trials. Most probably more of interest to those looking for detailed accounts of the set up of the trial, but still very interesting.

It's a Long Listen, but worth it!
There is no denying this is a long listen, but by its very nature is a long, complicated subject. I was concerned that the book would labour on the legal aspects of the trial (in places it did), but there was still an overriding emphasis on the crimes committed.
I felt it was important to know about this. I stand by this belief.
the narrator is British, quite dry but easy on the ear.

Incredible book
A truly fascinating and thought provoking insight to one of the most brutal and evil acts of the 20th century. All sides are represented brilliantly and it’s narrated with skill.

A great book spoilt by the narration!
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.

Very easy to listen to, highly recommend
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.

=INCREDIBLE!!
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.
