Book Reviews of Nuremberg Diary
Book Review: Unique Look Inside the Trials
Summary: 4 Stars
I didn't know what to expect from this book, but I was very glad I picked it up. It began a little slowly, but gained momentum quickly and soon had me unable to put it down. Dr. Gilbert, the psychologist and diarist, delivers an in-depth and intimate portrayal of the mental make-up of the Nazi's on trial at Nuremberg. I came away from this book feeling as though I had been at Dr. Gilbert's side throughout the trial, speaking to each defendant individually on a daily basis.
A real "fly-on-the-wall", behind the scenes view of the Nuremberg trials. Highly recommended.
Book Review: Unique, in its own kind. I wouldn't miss it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I would recommend this book as it views the trial and above all the defendants from a perspective which no other book can possibly offer. I think it important for possible readers that they are aware that this is hardly a complete account of the trial itself. Other books (The Nuremberg Trial, by Ann and John Tusa for example) achieve this well enough. This book brings you into the cells and lets you hear what the defendants thought about the whole situation, until you become familiar with their different personalities. I would recommend reading some other book before this, to gain better knowledge of the trial, but definitely I would not miss this one. It'd be like reading a book first, and then having a chance to meet the characters.Book Review: Unique, in its own kind. I wouldn't miss it.

Summary: 5 Stars
Truly a great book for anyone interested in any way in the second world war. If you want to see what REALLY drove people to accept/participate in such terrible atrocities then stop reading this and order the friggin book already! From Goring and Streicher's non penance and "loyalty" to Speer's "common responsibility", Gilbert covered it all. Also there are quite a few great jabs that Gilbert takes at the "defendants" which, I think, millions since the end of the war have wanted to take on these "men". It seems strange that this book would have the ability to not only turn your stomach during one of Streicher's rants or Rosenberg's excuse speeches, but also to make you giggle at times with comments like "Hess is crazy" over and over to Speer's naming Goring "The fat one". All in all a great book that will keep you deep inside it even though you already now the outcome!Book Review: not so good
Summary: 2 Stars
in my opinion this book is not accurate about those nazis and the psychologist is in my opinion too much of an prosecutor compared with the nuremberg interviews from goldensohn this one cannot compare at all even the few images inside the book are pretty bad quality.
