“[Atrocities on Trial] leads to counter-intuitive and otherwise surprising conclusions in several areas which make it a significant contribution to the existing literature. . . . Well-written . . . balancing a lively if depressing story with a first-rate intellectual analysis [and] first-tier scholarship.”—Michael Livingston, professor at Rutgers School of Law–Camden “A compelling collection of informative and thought-provoking essays. . . . Historical lessons emerge best from the kind of stimulating explorations that fill this volume. It is an edited volume at its best: not a hodge-podge, but essays that complement each other, reflect off each other, and also create friction, setting off sparks that are consistently illuminating.”—Douglas G. Morris, New York Law Journal "This book fills a significant void in the more widely known war crimes literature that focuses on wartime atrocities committed by Hitler's Third Reich."—J. C. Watkins Jr., CHOICE "These essays make use of newly available archival sources and a wide range of case studies to provide in-depth analyses of war crimes within a broad historical framework."—Shofar "[Atrocities on Trial] is an informative, nuanced, and balanced anthology that succeeds in its ambition to clarify the history of Nazi war crimes prosecution and the omnipresent influence of political forces on the trials."—Michael S. Bryant, Holocaust and Genocide Studies
