After watching Labyrinth of Lies the other day, I realised I really knew nothing about the Nuremberg trials apart from the most obvious facts. So I looked around and found The Nuremberg Trials on Amazon UK for 98p.

It's 240 pages and was rather riveting to read, though I had to make notes as to who was who. It focussed more on the people in court, rather than the harrowing evidence presented but the parts they did mention were (obviously) horrific.

It only covers the main trials (military leaders/politicians), not the Doctors or Judges ones.

It's a fascinating subject - my ex is a military/war expert, so I ended up being interested in spite of myself. I've a feeling I may have watched a documentary very similar to this, and it sounds like a good read too. Thank you for the link - again! I always seem to be thanking you for links!

You're welcome! I thought it was an excellent book though probably very basic as regards the details of the actual trial.

They do include a long paragraph about a massacre of Jewish people one witness testified to seeing. The prosecution used it in the closing arguments.
