Publisher Description

Nuremberg’s Palace of Justice, 1945, was the scene of a trial without precedent in history, a trial that continues to haunt the modern world. With his customary authority and audacity, William F. Buckley, Jr., has taken a pivotal moment in history and shaped it into a novel of riveting insight and understanding.

Leading the listener into the palace is interpreter-interrogator Sebastian, a young German-American whose fate is entwined with the lives and deaths of some towering figures of twentieth-century history, including Hermann Goering and Adolf Hitler. In a gripping account of war makers who must face the consequences of their actions, Nuremberg: The Reckoning flows through Warsaw, Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and finally Nuremberg, as Sebastian comes to terms with his family legacy and his national identity.

"This book, using a lot of correspondence between William Buckley, and Ronald and Nancy Reagan, gives a different perspective on Ronald and Nancy than in other biographies. "

    " It was ok, but why did the author have to invent a war criminal who never existed who was in charge of a death camp that never existed and then throw both into the Nuremgberg trial. I thought he could have used one of the real war criminals as a foil in the book. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " Part history, part historical fiction. A good introduction to the post-war Nazi trials, but I'm not sure why Buckley added the fictional characters. "

    " Simple but interesting historical novel about the famed Nazi trials at Nuremberg. Buckley, as usual, is verbose and sometimes vague. "

    — Chuck, 3/22/2012
  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " This book is a double bonus--the reader gets to learn about the book's subject and its author, who just happen to be the two greatest political figures of our time. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " Fantastic and heartfelt; the correspondence between WFB and RR/NR dating back to the 1960s is endearing and witty splashed with elements of historical note. "

    — Jacki, 11/7/2009
  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " After Bill Buckley's death, I went back to this book. Great writing on all things Rondald Reagan with the with of Buckley. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " I picked this up on a lark, and the personal stories WFB tells are very insightful regarding the overall intelligence of Ronald Reagan. Also, I was surprised by the depth of feeling he has for Nancy Reagan. Very entertaining for a short read. "
