A gripping new approach to the Nuremberg Trial, told through the stories of the many great writers who came to witness it
"A riveting group portrait that puts these celebrity reporters in the spotlight... An engaging blend of gossipy anecdote and precise, thought-provoking analysis" -- Financial Times
Nuremberg, 1945. As the trials of Nazi war criminals begin, some of the world's most famous writers and reporters gather in the ruined German city. Among them are Rebecca West, John Dos Passos, Martha Gellhorn, Erika Mann and Janet Flanner.
Crammed together in the press camp at Schloss Faber-Castell, where reporters sleep ten to a room and complain about the food and argue in the lively bar, they each try to find words for the unprecedented events they are witnessing. Here, tensions simmer between Soviet and Western journalists, unlikely affairs begin, stories are falsified and fabricated--and each reporter is forever changed by what they experience.
As Uwe Neumahr builds an engrossing group portrait of the literary luminaries at Nuremberg, readers are taken to the heart of the political and cultural conflicts of the time--observing history at the very moment it was being written.
Providing fascinating accounts of his subjects' experiences at Nuremberg, Neumahr shows how those experiences marked their future lives, as well as their approaches to writing. What emerges is both a multi-faceted depiction of the trials as a unique mass-media event, but also as a public reckoning with evil that had untold private reverberations for all who witnessed it.
