The Nurnberg Case: As Presented by Robert H. Jackson, Chief of Counsel for The United States, Together with Other Documents (1947) is a vital historical record of the Nuremberg Trials, which prosecuted major Nazi war criminals after World War II. This book compiles the legal arguments, evidence, and opening statement delivered by Robert H. Jackson, a U.S. Supreme Court Justice who served as the chief prosecutor at the trials. Jackson's powerful case laid the foundation for international justice, presenting the Nazi leaders' war crimes, crimes against humanity, and conspiracy to wage aggressive war. The book also includes key documents from the trials, such as indictments and testimonies, offering a comprehensive account of how justice was pursued for the atrocities of the Holocaust and the broader war. This work is significant not only for its documentation of legal history but also for its role in shaping modern international law.

Rare and highly sought-after title, especially with the dust jacket.
