Of the many books on war crimes, genocide, and justice recently published, Lawrence Douglas's study is among the most accessible and penetrating. Combining expert knowledge of national and international law with a historian's sensibility to context and nuance, Douglas analyzes the transformation in legal approaches to the Holocaust from its first emergence in the courtroom to the eventual blurring of its memory as those who experienced it slowly leave the scene. |
