Crimes of the Holocaust
The Law Confronts Hard Cases
Stephan Landsman

The problem of prosecuting individuals complicit in the Nazi regime's "Final Solution" is almost insurmountably complex and has produced ever less satisfying results as time has passed. In Crimes of the Holocaust, Stephan Landsman provides detailed analysis of the International Military Tribunal prosecution at Nuremberg in 1945, the Eichmann trial in Israel in 1961, the 1986 Demanjuk trial in Israel, and the 1990 prosecution of Imre Finta in Canada. Landsman presents each case and elaborates the difficulties inherent in achieving both a fair trial and a measure of justice in the aftermath of heinous crimes. This volume will be compelling reading for legal scholars as well as laypersons interested in these cases and the issues they address.

The Pinochet Effect
Transnational Justice in the Age of Human Rights
Naomi Roht-Arriaza

"Naomi Roht-Arriaza has produced a modern day version of Hannah Arendt's classic Eichmann in Jerusalem. Although nonfiction, The Pinochet Effect reads like a novel, eloquently recounting the saga and consequences of one of the most important cases of our time."--Michael P. Scharf, author of Slobodan Milosevic on Trial
