The mass execution that followed resulted from an American military trial conducted at Dachau in the spring of 1946 - a trial that lasted only thirty-six days and yet produced more death sentences than any other in American history. The Mauthausen trial was part of a massive series of proceedings designed to judge and punish Nazi war criminals in the most expedient manner the law would allow. There was no doubt that the crimes had been monstrous. Yet despite meting out punishment to a group of incontestably guilty men, the Mauthausen trial reveals a troubling and seldom-recognized face of American postwar justice - one characterized by rapid proceedings, lax rules of evidence, and questionable interrogations. Although the better-known Nuremberg trials are often regarded as epitomizing American judicial ideals, these trials were in fact the exception to the rule. Instead, as Tomaz Jardim convincingly demonstrates, the rough justice of the Mauthausen trial remains indicative of the most common - and yet least understood - American approach to war crimes prosecution. The Mauthausen Trial forces reflection on the implications of compromising legal standards in order to guarantee that guilty people do not walk free."--Pub. desc. 001399561 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001399561 61020 $$aMauthausen (Concentration camp) 001399561 650_0 $$aWar crime trials$$zGermany$$zDachau. 001399561 650_0 $$aTrials (Genocide)$$zGermany$$zDachau. 001399561 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1939-1945$$xAtrocities. 001399561 650_0 $$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$$zAustria. 001399561 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aJardim, Tomaz, 1974-$$tMauthausen trial.$$dCambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press, 2012$$z9780674061576$$w(DLC) 2011011137$$w(OCoLC)708243796 001399561 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 001399561 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10518207$$zOnline Access 001399561 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:458431$$pGLOBAL_SET 001399561 980__ $$aEBOOK 001399561 980__ $$aBIB 001399561 982__ $$aEbook 001399561 983__ $$aOnline
