About This Item
New York: Broadway Books, 2003. First Edition. First Printing. very good, very good. 25 cm, 385, illus., references, index, publisher's ephemera laid in. William Denson led the prosecution team at Dachau, that by August 1948 had found 177 Nazis guilty of war crimes at Dachau, Mauthausen, Flossenburg, and Buchenwald. Of these, 97 were sentenced to death, 54 to life imprisonment, and the rest to hard labor.
Synopsis
Joshua M. Greene received exclusive access to Denson’s personal archives, which included trial transcripts, newspaper clips, and a trove of photographs and letters. Using these, Greene has reconstructed the Dachau trials with the immediacy and excitement of a legal thriller. Justice at Dachau resurrects an American hero, a real-life Atticus Finch, and shines a light on a part of World War II that established precedents still used today to bring war criminals to justice.
