About this ebook
Denson, just 32 years old, with one criminal trial to his name, led a brilliant and successful prosecution, but nearly two years of exposure to such horrors took its toll. His wife divorced him, his weight dropped to 116 pounds, and he collapsed from exhaustion. Worst of all was the pressure from his army superiors to bring the trials to a rapid end when their agenda shifted away from punishing Nazis to winning the Germans’ support in the emerging Cold War. Denson persevered, determined to create a careful record of responsibility for the crimes of the Holocaust. When, in a final shocking twist, the United States used clandestine reversals and commutation of sentences to set free those found guilty at Dachau, Denson risked his army career to try to prevent justice from being undone.
Originally published in hardcover by Random House in 2001, this is the first time Justice at Dachau is available in paperback.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely chilling, but an important read. Very glad I read this, even if it made me cry and want to scream at times. My grandmother survived world war 2 in Poland, and too many people don't know of the atrocities committed in Europe during that time.
Received for a fair and honest review
