An mesmerizing new perspective on the Nuremberg trials, narrated through the stories of many great authors who came to observe them.

Nuremberg, 1945. As the trials of Nazi war criminals begin, some of the world's most famous writers and journalists gather in the devastated German city. Among them are Rebecca West, John Dos Passos, Martha Gellhorn, Erika Mann, and Janet Flanner.

Gathered at the Schloss Faber-Castell camp, where journalists sleep ten to a room, they complain about the food and interact at the lively bar, each trying to find the words for the unprecedented events they are witnessing. Here, tensions simmer between Soviet and Western journalists, unlikely loves begin, stories are distorted and forged— and every journalist is forever changed by what they experience.

As Uwe Neumar constructs a captivating collective portrait of literary twilight in Nuremberg, he takes us to the heart of the political and cultural conflicts of the era—observing history as it is being written.
