The Day of Reckoning

Radin, Max

Verlag: Alfred A. Knopf, 1943

Beschreibung

First edition of this speculative novel set in post-war Luxembourg and imagining the war crimes trial of Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, and the rest of the Hitler's henchmen. "Here is a small book which may be read as pure fantasy or as a piece of realism of an event as likely to happen as not. In either case, it is sure to divert the reader. As a professor of law, Mr. Radin propounds a real problem which after the coming armistice will have to be considered; as an author, he has done a brilliant piece of writing which is a delight to read" (contemporary review, New York Times). A prominent law professor at UC Berkeley, Max Radin longed for the opportunity to see Hitler and his associates in the dock. This book serves as a work both of wish fulfillment and of philosophical engagement. Radin ultimately longed for the Nazis to be treated as the common criminals they were; something that would only happen after the end of the war in the Nuremberg Trials. Owner signature. Book fine, dust jacket near-fine with only light wear to extremities. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 223
