Telford Taylor

“A masterly work of military and judicial history.” — New York Times . Telford Taylor’s book is a defining piece of World War II literature, an engrossing and reflective eyewitness account of one of the most significant events of our century.In 1945, the Allied nations agreed on a judicial process, rather than summary execution, to determine the fate of the Nazis following the end of World War II. Held in Nuremberg, the ceremonial birthplace of the Nazi Party, the British, American, French, and Soviet leaders contributed both judges and prosecutors to the series of trials that would prosecute some of the most prominent politicians, military leaders and businessmen in Nazi Germany.This is the definitive history of the Nuremberg crimes trials by one of the key participants, Telford Taylor, the distinguished lawyer who was a member of the American prosecution staff and eventually became chief counsel. In vivid detail, Taylor portrays the unfolding events as he “saw, heard, and otherwise sensed them at the time, and not as a detached historian working from the documents might picture them.” Table of 1 Nuremberg and the Laws of War2 The Nuremberg Ideas3 Justice Jackson Takes Over4 Establishing the The London Charter5 The Defendants and the Krupp and the German General Staff6 Berlin to Nuremberg7 Pretrial Pains and Problems8 On Trial9 The Nuremberg War Crimes Community10 The SS and the General Staff—High Command11 Individual Defendants, Future Trials, and Criminal Organizations12 The French and Soviet Prosecutions13 The Goering and Hess14 The “Murderers’ Row”15 The Bankers and Admirals16 The The Last Nine17 The Closing Arguments18 The Indicted Organizations19 The Defendants’ Last Words20 The Judgments of Solomons21 Law, Crime, and PunishmentTaylor describes personal vendettas among the Allied representatives and the negotiations that preceded the handing down of sentences.

“The true quality of a judicial system is best measured by its resistance to stress, whether caused by community, racial, or other prejudice, or by the pressure of state political policies and interests.” --Telford Taylor Working in secret for the past several years, a group of distinguished American attorneys, including university law professors, has mounted an intensive campaign to secure the release of a score of Russians, most of them Jews attempting to emigrate to Israel, who have been incarcerated in Soviet prisons on a variety of trumped-up charges. Telford Taylor, prosecutor at the Nuremberg war trials and now professor of law at Columbia University, is one of these lawyers. In this book he makes public how he and his colleagues—among them Alan Dershowitz, Leon Lipson, George Fletcher, and Melvin Stein—have challenged the Soviet judicial system on its own legal grounds, and how the Soviet Union has subverted its own rules for the conduct of trials and the confinement of prisoners in order to accommodate a government policy of discouraging emigration without appearing to prohibit it. The author tells how he and his fellow attorneys prepared and presented to Russian officials petitions containing documentation of false indictments and twisted trial procedures. In one case, a factory mechanic, Isaac Shkolnik, accused of spying for the British, was brought to trial—when the British government denied the accusation—on charges of spying for Israel. In another, a carpenter, Pinkhas Pinkhasov, was tried and imprisoned for overpricing his services after his emigration permit had been issued. Taylor discloses how in case after case, trial after trial, charges have been fabricated, defendants have been denied counsel of their choice, and witnesses requested by the defense have been barred from testifying—all in clear defiance of Soviet law. And—perhaps the most appalling of his revelations—he brings to light the shocking abuse of Jewish prisoners in the camps at the hands of ling-time inmates who were sentenced at the end of World War II for Nazi activities and who by virtue of seniority have become trusties with power to discipline the newcomers. As of early 1976, despite the arduous labors of the American attorneys, despite their visits to Moscow to make personal appeals to Soviet officials (highlighted in Taylor’s account of his dramatic meeting with Roman Rudenko, now the Kremlin’s Procurator General, who served with him as a prosecutor at Nuremberg thirty years ago), only two of the prisoners had achieved early release in possibly unrelated actions. Courts of Terror documents with stinging force how a judicial system can be—and has been—perverted to serve the political purposes of totalitarian state. It is published to set forth the facts, and in hope of opening up new ways to action on behalf of the men who are still unjustly held prisoner.

The German Wehrmacht swept across Europe in the spring of 1940, like a great scythe, in a triumph unparalleled in modern history. Adolf Hitler's call to end the war after the conquest of Poland was rejected by the allied governments of France and within three months Scandinavia, the Low Countries, and France were crushed by the stunning impact of the German military machine. The British, suffering losses of men and material, were forced off the continent at Dunkirk, yet they continued to fight against German domination. Their tenacity became a crucial factor in thwarting the outcome of Hitler's march of conquest.Telford Taylor had an excellent opportunity to gather material for this he served as chief counsel at the Nuremberg war crimes trials. He handles a wealth of information, weaving into a smooth narrative the details of the war from the lowest to the highest levels of command. Taylor's presentation of the facts, from the German perspective, is balanced and skillful and stands as one of the most important books on the subject available today.
