Description
Thanks to what has come to be known as 'The Iron Curtain of Discreet Silence', at the termination of the Second World War, there was a seemingly unanimous acceptance of the then novel legal proposition that an accuser is a fit person to act as judge of his own charges. After some two years, however, two small books, written concurrently and independently, were published in this country challenging this proposition as contrary to established legal principles and common sense, Epitaph on Nuremberg by Montgomery Belgion and Advance to Barbarism by the author of the present book, Mr. F. J. P. Veale. Enlarged versions of both books were subsequently published in the United States, Mr. Montgomery Belgion's book under the title Victor's Justice in 1949 and Mr. Veale's book under its original title in 1953. That these books, and others too numerous to mention, published both here and abroad, have contributed to a gradual change in public opinion is suggested by the fact that before the end of June 1957, the last of the German prisoners serving sentence by a British Court as war criminals had been released.
