Add to basketFirst UK edition, and the first to include an introduction by Maxwell Fyfe, of this classic account of the Nuremberg Trials. The author served as the prison psychologist, conducting interviews and evaluations of the defendants that yielded vital new prosecutorial lines of attack. Maxwell Fyfe made his name at Nuremberg by succee…ding, where Robert H. Jackson struggled, to establish Goering's complicity in the Holocaust. Gilbert's Nuremberg experiences also produced his highly regarded monograph The Psychology of Dictatorship (1950). Octavo. With 8 half-tone plates. Original grey cloth, spine lettered in red. With dust jacket. Contemporary bookplate of Field Marshal Alexander, first Earl Alexander of Tunis (1891-1969); front free endpaper with November 1948 Ottowa gift inscription to Alexander. Cloth clean, rear inner hinge sometime strengthened; jacket unclipped, chipping, couple of old adhesive tape repairs: a very good copy indeed in very good jacket.
