""The Nuremberg Trial and Aggressive War"" is a comprehensive historical account of the landmark Nuremberg Trials, written by Sheldon Glueck. The book delves into the legal and moral implications of the trials, which were held in the aftermath of World War II to prosecute top Nazi officials for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes against peace. Glueck examines the legal framework of the trials, which established the principle of individual criminal responsibility for acts of aggression, and discusses the philosophical and ethical debates surrounding the concept of aggressive war. He also provides a detailed analysis of the evidence presented during the trials and the legal arguments made by the prosecution and defense teams. In addition, the book offers a critical evaluation of the impact of the trials on international law and the development of the modern concept of human rights. Glueck argues that the Nuremberg Trials represented a turning point in the history of international justice, and that they set a precedent for holding individuals accountable for crimes committed in the name of the state. Overall, ""The Nuremberg Trial and Aggressive War"" is a thought-provoking and insightful work that sheds light on one of the most significant events in modern legal history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of international law, human rights, and the aftermath of World War II.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
