First published in 1954, this pocket sized book remains an authoritative and evidential source of the horrors of the Holocaust that is well in keeping with the vast tomes of the present day that demand to be weighed rather than read. A benchmark classic that deals effectively with Hannah Arendt's 'banality of evil' and should be read by all.

The Times Higher Education, Jan 2016

This is not an easy read - the subject material means that it never could be, but it is a very valuable, legally informed account of some of the most appalling atrocities ever committed, and a valuable reminder of why the Second World War had to be fought.

History of War

The author has written a concise, detailed and readable account of German and Japanese war crimes during WWII; a reminder for that war's generation and a history lesson for future generations.

Sgt. Maj. Jack Jaunal, ISMC (Ret), Military Magazine

A disturbing book of ruthlessness pulled from the prosecutorial files, and most definitely not light reading . . . if you ever had any questions about why we fought World War II, this book provided about 12 million reasons – the approximate death toll according to the author . . . against the backdrop of systematic executions of segments of populations, the Nazis outshone all others. Wars are fought over ideals and resources. You’ll get enough of Nazi ideals in this book to become ill. And that's the best reason to reprint and re-read this book.

Russ Lockwood, Magweb

A cold, factual and unchallengeable book.

New Statesman

This is a book which should be read by everybody.

Yorkshire Evening Press

This is a truthful and accurate account of what did, in fact, happen.

Birmingham Post

His book is far from being just an indictment. Nor has (the author) simply catalogued all the worst atrocities. The summary is fair and usually unadorned.
