Critics Review

“Reporting the Nuremberg Trials brings to life in vivid detail the evidence, the atmosphere of tension, and the personalities assigned to inform the world about the 20th century’s most consequential tribunal that brought the most notorious war criminals of the Nazi regime to justice. A must-read for scholars and students of history, human rights, and the role of media in the modern world.”–Scott Wallace, bestselling author of “The Unconquered: In Search of the Amazon’s Last Uncontacted Tribes and Central America in the Crosshairs of War”
“Reporting the Nuremburg Trials is steeped in reverence for an era in journalism faintly lit by modern history despite its many parallels to today. Fletcher again and again reveals lessons for today’s real-time news cycles, including the perils of misinformation, professional subterfuge and abbreviated ethics.”–Jesse Garnier, Journalism Chair and Associate Professor, San Francisco State University
