Publisher's Synopsis
Audible brings to life through dramatic performance the 1945-1946 radio broadcast reports covering the greatest courtroom drama of the 20th century-the Nuremberg trials. The original broadcasts have been lost forever, but the verbatim text-written by Harold Burson, founding chairman of one of the world's leading public relations firms, Burson Marsteller, who at the time was a reporter for the Armed Forces Network-has been newly interpreted by an ensemble of some of our fine actors. This original production, published here for the first time and only in audio, blends journalism, history, re-enactment and performance, and reimagines what it was like to experience first-hand this groundbreaking trial and to witness close-up some of the most infamous figures in recent world history: members of the Nazi ruling class. The production is being released on the anniversary of the opening of the first and most famous trial, November 19, 1945.
