A book that I will return to again and again.

" -- Damien Lewis, bestselling author of Agent Josephine "In this vivid, gripping and timely re-examination of the trials, Natalie Livingstone restores the women of Nuremberg to their rightful place at the moral and emotional heart of the story. Deeply researched, exquisitely told, Livingstone''s account is as pacy as a thriller and as powerful as its rawest testimony: a coruscating portrayal of courage, creativity and resilience in the face of unprecedented horror." -- Catherine Ostler, author of The Renoir Girls "What Livingstone contributes is an engaging and more rounded account of the context in which the trials took place, peopling the proceedings with some of their long-neglected and endlessly interesting female characters." --Caroline Moorehead, Literary Review "A fascinating account. one of Livingstone''s great strengths is the way she doesn''t duck her subjects'' moral complexity. how vital it feels to be reminded of the principles laid down at Nuremberg, and the women who contributed to that crucial process" --Kathryn Hughes, The Sunday Times , Book of the Week "All praise then to Livingstone for writing such a fresh and compelling narrative, restoring the forgotten diversity to both the drama and the tedium of the trials." --Clare Mulley, The Spectator "This is a kaleidoscopic eight-life biography with electrifying stories, which brings perspective and wider compassion to this shocking trial." --Geordie Grieg, The Independent "This compelling history offers a fresh, urgent perspective on justice and memory.
