This is not a Christian book, but it is a volume which should be of great interest to Christians.
The main concern of the book is to tell the story of two Jewish men, Hersch Lauterpacht and Rafael Lemkin, who through separate inputs shaped the framework of law in which the Nuremberg Trials took place after WWII, when Nazi leaders were indicted for war crimes. Interestingly both of them had their origins in the same city in Southern Poland.
