The Reckoning : The Nuremberg Trials and the Fight for Justice After the Holocaust
They thought the world would never hold them accountable. But in a quiet German courtroom, history demanded justice.
In the wake of the Holocaust and World War II, the world was left reeling from unspeakable atrocities. Millions were dead, entire cities lay in ruins, and the architects of genocide walked among the rubble. The Nuremberg Trials were humanity’s answer, a bold attempt to bring Nazi leaders to justice and to confront the unimaginable horrors they unleashed.
In The Reckoning, Christian Gregory takes you inside Courtroom 600 at the Palace of Justice, where the most infamous Nazis faced charges of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. Through vivid narrative and meticulous research, this book reveals the drama, courage, and groundbreaking legal battles that shaped our understanding of justice.
You’ll meet the prosecutors who pieced together damning evidence from mountains of Nazi records, the survivors who found the strength to testify about the horrors they endured, and the defendants who were forced to face the truth of their actions.
