“Robert Hutchinson’s work is a major reevaluation that scholars of Nazi war crimes and international law will not be able to ignore.”—Norman J. W. Goda, author of Tales from Spandau: Nazi Criminals and the Cold War
“In this important book, Robert Hutchinson offers new insight and new evidence about the famous events surrounding clemency to Nazi war criminals. It is a work that both scholars and a general public should definitely read.”—Jeffrey C. Herf, University of Maryland
“Essential for anyone interested in the future of international humanitarian law, this book reveals how justice for the victims of Nazi crimes was undermined by those responsible for upholding it.”—Steven P. Remy, author of The Malmedy Massacre: The War Crimes Controversy
