After the Second World War, the Nuremberg Tribunal became a symbol of justice in the face of tyranny, aggression, and atrocity. But it was only a fragment of retribution as, with their Allies, the British embarked on the largest programme of war crimes investigations and trials in history.

This book exposes the deeper truth of this endeavour, moving from the scripted trial of Goering, Hess, and von Ribbentrop to the makeshift courtrooms where the SS officers, guards, and executioners were prosecuted. It tells the story of the investigators, lawyers, and perpetrators and asks the question—was justice done?
