In 1945, the Allied nations agreed on a judicial process, rather than summary execution, to determine the fate of the Nazis following the end of World War II. Held in Nuremberg, the ceremonial birthplace of the Nazi Party, the British, American, French, and Soviet leaders contributed both judges and prosecutors to the series of trials that would prosecute some of the most prominent politicians, military leaders, and businessmen in Nazi Germany.

Interesting but flawed
Revisado: 10-31-22
Taylor was a participant in the Nuremberg trials as a prosecutor and later as lead prosecutor, so he had a first person view of proceedings. The account is very detailed and interesting, but it is also highly repetitive and, I fear, legalistic. I expect other books about the proceedings offer more entertainment value. Taylor freely states his opinions about the legal and ethical issues raised by the proceedings, but patently and fairly, I think. The reader presents well, but the number of words he mispronounces (maybe a dozen) is astounding and cringing.

As dusk approaches a small Dublin suburb in the summer of 1984, mothers begin to call their children home. But on this warm evening, three children do not return from the dark and silent woods. When the police arrive, they find only one of the children gripping a tree trunk in terror, wearing blood-filled sneakers, and unable to recall a single detail of the previous hours. Twenty years later, the found boy, Rob Ryan, is a detective on the Dublin Murder Squad and keeps his past a secret.

But it’s Irish!
Revisado: 08-26-21
This is my second Tana French book, and I think she is a first-rate writer of mysteries. The narrator is very good also EXCEPT none of the characters has an Irish accent and all but one should. That’s disappointing.

In this unnamed city, to be interesting is dangerous. Middle sister, our protagonist, is busy attempting to keep her mother from discovering her maybe-boyfriend and to keep everyone in the dark about her encounter with Milkman. But when first brother-in-law sniffs out her struggle and rumours start to swell, middle sister becomes "interesting" - the last thing she ever wanted to be. To be interesting is to be noticed, and to be noticed is dangerous. Milkman is a tale of gossip and hearsay, silence and deliberate deafness. It is a story of inaction with enormous consequences.

Stunning!
Revisado: 10-18-19
I think this book might be difficult to read, but the audio performance was brilliant, bringing out all the best in the book I might not have discovered on my own. Funny, irreverently poignant, exceedingly clever.

On May 1, 1915, with WWI entering its tenth month, a luxury ocean liner as richly appointed as an English country house sailed out of New York, bound for Liverpool, carrying a record number of children and infants. The passengers were surprisingly at ease, even though Germany had declared the seas around Britain to be a war zone. For months, German U-boats had brought terror to the North Atlantic.

Needs better performance
Revisado: 10-05-19
Scott Brick reads much of the book in a song-song voice seemingly intended to sound portentous and to convey foreshadowing, irony, sentiment, you name it. Very tiresome. Larson’s story, as with his other books, is well told, laden with details that are interesting and engaging, even if not significant. He switches from uboat to Lusitania to British intelligence to Woodrow Wilson as the story develops chronologically, which works very well.
