Media Reviews

"These excerpted letters make for fascinating reading and must be considered an essential addition to Nuremberg studies." - PW.

"At times anguished and stimulating, always informative and insightful, Thomas Dodd’s personal letters from the Nuremburg trial to his wife as presented by his son, Senator Christopher Dodd, constitute an important contribution to History. All those interested in the events resulting from the darkest zones of humanity will find this volume of great value." - Elie Wiesel.
