Books about the Kennedys are legion. Yet missing until now has been the exploration of the bond between Jack and Bobby, and the part that it played in their rise and fall. Richard D. Mahoney gives us Jack and Bobby in all their hubris and humanity, youthfulness and fatalism. Here is American history as it unfolds. The Kennedy Brothers is a fresh and masterful account of the men whose legacy continues to hold the American imagination.

Story
Brilliant and wrenching, The Holocaust: History and Memory tells the story of the brutal mass slaughter of Jews during World War II and how that genocide has been remembered and misremembered ever since. Taking issue with generations of scholars who separate the Holocaust from Germany's military ambitions, historian Jeremy M. Black demonstrates persuasively that Germany's war on the Allies was entwined with Hitler's war on Jews.

Story
In 1940, the German sons and daughters of infamous Nazi dignitaries Himmler, Göring, Hess, Frank, Bormann, Speer, and Mengele were children of privilege at four, five, or 10 years old, surrounded by affectionate, all-powerful parents. Although innocent and unaware of what was happening at the time, they eventually discovered the extent of their fathers' occupations: These men were leaders of the Third Reich and would later be convicted as monstrous war criminals.

Story
The high command of the Army of the Potomac was a changeable, often dysfunctional band of brothers, going through the fires of war under seven commanding generals in three years, until Grant came east in 1864. The men in charge all too frequently appeared to be fighting against the administration in Washington instead of for it, increasingly cast as political pawns facing down a vindictive congressional Committee on the Conduct of the War.

Think creatively like a human. Analyze and solve problems efficiently like a computer. Our everyday lives are filled with inefficient and ineffective decisions and solutions. Being overwhelmed by the magnitude of our problems makes it hard to think clearly. We procrastinate and overthink. Our thoughts are tainted with biases. If only there was a way to simplify our decision-making and problem-solving process and get satisfying, consistent results! The good news is, there is! Apply computer algorithms to your everyday problems.

Story
It was the war that changed everything, and yet it's been mostly forgotten: in 1935, Italy invaded Ethiopia. It dominated newspaper headlines and newsreels. It inspired mass marches in Harlem, a play on Broadway, and independence movements in Africa. As the British Navy sailed into the Mediterranean for a white-knuckle showdown with Italian ships, riots broke out in major cities all over the United States.

Editorial reviews
Courtroom dramas have always consumed the public's attention. There is a certain high-stakes drama that takes place in the halls of justice. Ann and John Tusa have collaborated to capture those emotions in their historical study of The Nuremberg Trial. The Nuremberg Trial isn't some bland textbook; the Tusas' personable narration delivers to listeners the countless personal stories at the heart of one of history's most infamous court battles. A deft performance by Ralph Cosham only serves to accentuate the care Ann and John Tusa have taken in relaying the facts of Nuremberg with humanity and insight.
Publisher's Summary
Here is a gripping account of the major postwar trial of the Nazi hierarchy in World War II. The Nuremberg Trial brilliantly recreates the trial proceedings and offers a reasoned, often profound examination of the processes that created international law. From the whimpering of Kaltenbrunner and Ribbentrop on the stand to the icy coolness of Goering, each participant is vividly drawn.

Excellent and thoroughly engaging
An edifying book of remarkable scope that examines the Nuremberg Trials in much detail, with a particular emphasis on the procedural and tactical challenges the convening parties faced. The subject I assumed I would find least interesting - the legal basis and consequent articulation - was one of the more engaging themes, expertly presented by the authors. One of the best books on any historical subject I’ve listened to.

Thoughtful, Important and Poignant
In current times we can feel so entitled, we forget that we aren't any better than those who came before us and if we don't learn about things like the wars and the way people acted in it we are doomed to repeat it. Only now we have as leaders small petty men and women, we as people are so complacent and so determined to be outraged by small things we and our leaders are not the Titans of they're times, we today refuse to treat those we disagree with honour and fairness like was shown in this book, Yet most of whom we disagree with are far less evil than those who ran the Reich.
The reader's voice is emotive without being to judgemental, gives dignity to those who through actions denied dignity to others without elevating or over emoting one side or the other.
If you have any interest is the world wars we see this chapter is one of the most important and defining moments showing in peace what can be achieved through justice that isn't blinded by greed, ambitiousness and nationalism. That said it is a give there is more enough warning against those things in this story.

Incredible detail.
The best book I’ve listened to on the subject of Nuremberg. The most detailed account of the trial. It detail does get boring at some points especially with some of the lesser known criminals. But you cannot fault the book for being thorough.
Definitely the best book related to the main Nuremberg trial.

Enjoyable
Thoroughly detailed but never boring, sprinkled with occasional humour. As long as it was, I would have appreciated some direct transcripts of what was said, not just the author's summary and opinion on what was said.

Absorbing, well informed and very detailed
A fascinating, detailed and very well researched account of the famous (or infamous) Nuremberg Trial, sure to be appreciated by historians and armchair-historians alike. The narration is ably performed, though the narrator has an unusual habit of bouncing onto proper nouns when starting a sentence with an "a-", such as pronouncing "a-Jackson", "a-Goering" and so on, which can be a little confusing.

Illustrating the importance and basis of international law
In a period where histories lessons are largely forgotten this account of the Nuremberg trial, it’s foundations and the arguments of law used to legitimise proceedings comes as a timely reminder that civilisations ought to aspire to better.
A well thought out and told account of an important moment in western history.

Detailed coverage
Those in the law and students will possibly get more out of the highly detailed coverage of the Nuremberg trial. The back room negotiations and moral debates are as fascinating as the excuses shocking.
An important work.

Captivating
I couldn’t get away from this one, it was captivating and encapsulating without any of the modern day far left connotations of nazism that the main stream media use, very informative and highly enjoyable
