LETTERS FROM NUREMBERG My Father's Narrative of a Quest for Justice

The Democratic senator from Connecticut publishes letters from his father, written when he was a prosecutor at the international trials of Nazi leaders after WWII. Michael Prichard handles the tender words written by Thomas Dodd to his wife, using the tone of a lonely man talking to his closest confidant. The young lawyer utters the word "love" hundreds of times as he dotes on how he misses his wife and family. Sometimes the narrator's voice and the content become so intimate, listeners may feel as though hearing someone else's most personal thoughts. The historical value of the letters comes from the writer's descriptions of interviews with witnesses and from his observations about other principal players in the trial process.
