Reviews

A historian whose earlier effort, The Mexican-American War: An Annotated Bibliography, has become a standard on that subject, has carefully constructed a bibliography of some 4,500 references. The major sources are annotated and include monographs, government documents, dissertations, and periodical articles. A survey of Tutorow's sources opens the bibliography, followed by successive chapters that list early war crime trials, including those of WW I. The bulk of the bibliography deals with all aspects of WW II war crimes both in Europe and Asia. Two chapters put special emphasis on the Holocaust and on concentration camps. The book closes with the post-WW II period, the 1961-1962 Eichmann trial, and the various trials associated with the war in Vietnam. A series of appendixes include Jewish death statistics, basic International Military Tribunal documents, and lists of names of Axis defendants, defense counsels, and allied prosecutors.... This is an excellent, balanced bibliography of representative material of this subject, well suited to all academic libraries.-Choice
