| Summary: | In his important new book, Michael Bryant makes it depressingly clear that after the immediate postwar period, bringing Nazi perpetrators to justice was not a priority for either the United States or West Germany. His study chronicles the initially sincere attempt by the US and later the West Germans to prosecute participants in the “T-4” euthanasia program (code-named by the Nazis after the program's office address in Berlin at Tiergartenstrasse 4), as well as the rapid degeneration of these trials. |
