Product Review
`Review from previous edition This great book reminds us that one of the many ways to hit historical gold is to reshuffle the cards and deal them afresh Dr Bloxham writes so well and manages the three-ringed circus of his argument so deftly that his book is a lot easier to read and its argument easier to follow than might have been expected of an enterprise boldly transcending the departmental boundaries of law, history and politics. It must be of interest to far too many and various readerships to be allowed to be cast simply as a new item in the miscellaneous category of 'Holocaust Studies'.' Geoffrey Best, EHR, June 2002
Product Description
When the Allies tried German war criminals at the end of World War II they were attempting not only to punish the guilty but also to set down a history of Nazism and of what had happened in Europe. Yet as Donald Bloxham shows in this incisive account, the reality was that these proceedings
failed. Not only did the guilty often escape punishment but the final solution was largely written out of history in the post-war era.
Reader Reviews
This review is from: Genocide on Trial: War Crimes Trials and the Formation of History and Memory (Hardcover)
Donald Bloxham's Genocide on Trial is among the most comprehensive and authoritative studies of post World War II war crimes trials ever written. Unlike most books on the subject, Bloxham does not limit his study to Nuremberg's International Military Tribunal. He reviews the vast majority of Allied war crimes trials and also the premature releases of convicted war criminals during the 1950s. Using new archival sources, Bloxham documents the British government's premature releases of prominent war criminals (like Kesselring and von Manstein) during the Cold War. The author convincingly proves his contention "that war crimes trials did little to clarify conceptualizations of Nazi criminality in the public sphere anywhere." Genocide on Trial should be mandatory reading for anyone interested in the history of war crimes trials.
