Nuremberg Trial Series: Closing Address before the International Military Tribunal
by Robert H. Jackson
$10.78, Soft Cover
Robert H. Jackson’s final statement at the Nuremberg Trial contains the famous quotation, “If you were to say of these men that they are not guilty, it would be as true to say that there has been no war, there are no slain, there has been no crime.” Jackson implores the judges on the tribunal to find all the Nazi defendants guilty. His impassioned words ring as loudly to us today as they did in Courtroom 600 in 1946.

by Whitney R. Harris
$10.78, Soft Cover
Nuremberg prosecutor Whitney R. Harris’ polemic on the terrible costs and consequences of war recounts the tragic history of war in the 20th Century and of the first years of the 21st. Harris reviews the major tragedies, genocides and mass murders of the past one hundred years, and profiles the tyrants who perpetrated them. He tracks the progression of aggressive war to its current manifestation, terrorism, and suggests that the only way for humankind to survive is to avoid the destruction of civilization through war. Harris sees the anti-aggressive war legacy of Nuremberg as humankind’s last, best hope for ultimate survival.
