In this valuable contribution to Holocaust, international human rights law, and intelligence studies, Salter (Lancashire Law School, UK) presents an in-depth interpretation of events and institutional practices surrounding the Nuremberg war crimes trials and related matters. In an interdisciplinary analysis drawing on recently declassified files, he pays particular attention to the role of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS)--the predecessor of the CIA --in monitoring the Nazi's World War II activities against Jews, plundering of their assets, and prosecution of war crimes. Volume 2 addresses issues in investigations of looted Jewish art, and OSS Research & Analysis group support of the Nuremberg trial process, including the impact of Neumann's spearhead theory of Nazi anti-Semitism. Appended material includes the Nuremberg laws on cultural plunder, trial evidence, and commentary on how media attention to declassified OSS files generated interest in restitution relating to gold stolen by the Nazis.
