| Summary: | Publisher's description: This book provides a balanced but critical discussion of the contribution of American Intelligence officials to the Nuremberg war crimes trials process. It discusses the role of such officials in mobilising the unique resources of a modern intelligence agency in order to provide important trial testimony - from former double-agents, such as Hans Gisevius - and vital documentary evidence. This book also reviews recently declassified CIA documents to provide new details of how senior Nazi war criminals, such as SS General Karl Wolff, were provided with effective immunity deals partly as a reward for their wartime cooperation with US intelligence officials, including Allen Dulles, former CIA Director. |
