JACKSON, Robert H. The Case Against the Nazi War Criminals
JACKSON, Robert H. The Case Against the Nazi War Criminals. Opening Statement for the United States of America and Other Documents. Preface by Gordon Dean. New York: Alfred A. Knopf. 1946. 8vo. First edition. Publisher's orange clot lettered in gilt to the spine with the publisher's blindstamped borzoi to the centre of front board. In the original dust jacket. A good copy, the cloth a little dulled at spine, the binding tight with a gentle lean, with the corners gently pushed and bumped. The topstain a little faded at towards the headband. The contents largely fine, with a little toning to prelims. The dust jacket not clipped ($2.00 net) with the spine panel faded with some bleeding visible to verso. Most edges and corners bumped, slightly nicked and rubbed, with tape repairs to verso joints. Uncommon.
An important volume, containing Justice Jackson's opening statement for the US at the trial, the complete text of the indictment of the Nazi war criminals, and the text of the four-power agreement upon which the trials were based. The trial papers amassed well over 17,000 pages, and this volume is very much a readable, condensed version of the highlights of the trials, which were unprecedented both in their nature--it was the first time that warmakers had ever been tried by an international court--and in the worldwide interest in them.
