David Irving’s trail-blazing study of the Allies’ IMT show trial is finally back in print: Nuremberg: The Last Battle challenges the conventional narrative, drawing on unpublished documents and firsthand sources to examine how the trials were conducted and the role of victor’s justice in the aftermath of World War II. A provocative and extensively researched work for readers interested in alternative perspectives on one of history’s most significant legal proceedings. In contrast to books authored by mainstream historians on this topic, this study looks behind the façade of this legal farce staged after WWII. It examines unpublished documents of the principal actors for a close look at how this mockery of international law was staged, and examines the hypocrisy with which the greatest butchers of the war, the victors, sat in judgement over the hapless vanquished.
Complement this book with Germar Rudolf’s study The Holocaust: Proven at Nuremberg? This one picks up where Irving stopped: looking in detail how evidence was rigged presumably proving the execution-chamber massacres against the Jews. Get both books as a bundle for a discount here.
Description
Nuremberg: The Last Battle is a groundbreaking reexamination of the infamous postwar trials based on unpublished diaries and papers of the principal actors—the judges, lawyers, and the war criminals themselves. David Irving takes a close-quarters look at the trial which finally ended World War Two: the Trial of the Century, held in Nuremberg from 1945 to 1946.
Where the city’s face bore the terrible scars of the mortal struggle between Germany and her enemies, which had ended in May 1945, the ghosts—those who survived Allied orders to shoot on sight if captured—continued the struggle for sixteen more months. The armies were unequal; one side was unarmed and had few friends.
President Harry S. Truman had appointed Robert H. Jackson as Chief of Counsel for the United States, charged with mounting the prosecution of the major Axis war criminals. His task seemed clearly defined. By the time the trial began in November 1945, many of his ideals had already been betrayed. There would be few crimes listed in the indictment at Nuremberg of which one or other of the four prosecuting powers was not guilty of itself.
In the cause of defeating Adolf Hitler, civilian populations had been burned and blasted, murdered, brutalized, intimidated, deported, and enslaved; aggressive wars had been launched, neutral countries occupied by pretext and deceit, and the unalterable paragraphs of international conventions flagrantly violated.
This is a new edition of this preeminent exposé on the infamous postwar legal battle. Nuremberg: The Last Battle remains to this day the most piercing insight into what really happened behind closed doors during the most significant trials of the Twentieth Century.
