This fine collection of essays explores how law came to serve as a tool of destruction in the Third Reich and as a means of moral reconstruction in the postwar years. It offers a timely and valuable intervention in ongoing debates about the capacity of law to deform and reform societies. * Lawrence Douglas, James J. Grosfeld Professor of Law, Jurisprudence & Social Thought, Amherst College, USA * From a wide variety of perspectives, the contributors to this book underline the supreme importance of the rule of justice and the horrifying consequences of its neglect. Well-written and thought-provoking. * D.W. de Mildt, editor of Justiz und NS-Verbrechen / Nazi Crimes on Trial, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands *
