Beyond this horrific, premeditated war crime perpetrated on a massive scale, there were also isolated and spontaneous war crimes committed by both German and U.S. forces. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is focused upon on two World War II atrocities--one committed by Germans and the other by Americans. The author carefully examines how the U.S. Army treated each crime, and gives accounts of the atrocities from both German and American perspectives. The two events are contextualized within multiple frameworks: the international law of war, the phenomenon of war criminality in World War II, and the German and American collective memories of World War II. \u003ci\u003eAmericans, Germans and War Crimes Justice: Law, Memory, and \"The Good War\"\u003c\/i\u003e provides a fresh and comprehensive perspective on the complex and sensitive subject of World War II war crimes and justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Weingartner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313381925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313381928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011 pg. 21","brand":"James Weingartner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46401232470271,"sku":"9780313381928","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f12733d-c930-4363-9103-28b7db62e169.jpg?v=1733887123","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/americans-germans-and-war-crimes-james-weingartner-9780313381928","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
