  — Elie Wiesel, professor and political activist

• “Thomas Dodd’s letters from Nuremberg illuminate the most important trial of the twentieth century through the moving and insightful reflections of a husband, father, and patriot as he made history. Chris Dodd places his father’s letters and the trial in context brilliantly, contrasting America’s deep commitment to the rule of law at Nuremberg with our unfortunate abandonment of that commitment at Guantanamo today. The publication of these letters is especially timely now, as we struggle to regain the respect we so justly earned sixty years ago when we demonstrated to the world the immense power of the rule of law.”

  — Senator Edward Kennedy

• “The content of Letters from Nuremberg represents an insightful, very personal perspective into the daily workings of the Nuremberg trials. Chris skillfully extrapolates this historic chapter of European history from the loving correspondence between his father, abroad in a war-torn land, and his mother, coping with the demands of a young family remaining at home. This book, written by my valued friend and colleague, will rightfully take its place on the shelf of history.”

  — Senator John Warner

• “This book is a tour de force—a gold mine for historians, an intimate love story, and a compelling portrait of key Nazi figures. Splendidly edited, the letters capture as never before the intrigue, the infighting, and the daily drama of one of the most important trials in history.”

  — Doris Kearns Goodwin, New York Times bestselling author of The Bully Pulpit

• “Letters from Nuremberg is actually two important and absorbing books in one. Thomas Dodd’s letters take us into the emotional heart of that complex trial that established Nazi crimes for all future generations of humankind. Christopher Dodd’s meditations on them show us the compelling importance of his father’s experience at Nuremberg to our own world sixty years later.”
