""Neumahr’s book centres on the authors of history’s first draft... Perhaps most compelling is its exploration of the act of writing when words seem so profoundly inadequate"" —Observer ""Immersive... A fresh, at times dishy, behind-the-scenes look at the landmark trial"" —Publishers Weekly ""An excellent read for WWII history buffs, as well as those interested in literary figures."" —Library Journal
