Thomas J. Dodd served as a staff lawyer in this unprecedented trial for crimes against humanity. Thanks to his agile legal mind and especially to his skills at interrogating the defendants, he quickly rose to become the number two prosecutor in the U.S. contingent. Over the course of 15 months, Dodd described his efforts and his vivid impressions of the proceedings in nightly letters to his wife, Grace. Unexamined for decades, these letters now remind us of the inspiration that good people across the world have long taken from that courtroom--and that fear and retribution are not the only bases for confrontation.--From publisher description UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0714/2007013380.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0838/2007013380-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0838/2007013380-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0838/2007013380-s.html ER -
