Located at the crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe; Georgia is a country of rainforests and swamps; snow and glaciers; and semi-arid plains. It has ski resorts and mineral springs; monuments and an oil pipeline. It also has one of the longest and most turbulent histories in the Christian or Near Eastern world; but no comprehensive; up-to-date account has been written about this little-known country—until now. Remedying this omission; Donald Rayfield accesses a mass of new material from recently opened archives to tell Georgia’s absorbing story.

I acquired and read it some years ago but loaned it to so many people; I simply just NEVER got it back; so I bought it again to loan to a cherished and a most friend. He was not old enough to have experienced WWII and these trials thereafter. He was awed by the history and found such to be almost incredible despite knowing it happened. He was deeply moved be the courage and discipline and unrestricted tenacity of the prosecutor and his undeterred relentless pursuit of the guilty; even more impressed was he with his 100% conviction rate; so thorough was his investigations of the defendants. RECOMMEND IT UNEQUIVOCALLY!Jim G.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I really enjoyed it and found it insightfulBy ARPI am a student of Nazi atrocities and wanted to know more of trials of Nazis beyond Nuremberg. Justice at Dachau was just the book. I really enjoyed it and found it insightful. I wish there were more books like it which would delve more into what actually happened in the death camps and why so many Germans were a part of these atrocities; since they were so cruel and unthinkable. Overall; I would buy this book again and will someday even read it again.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. interesting and shamefulBy K. harristhis is an interesting book on a little known topic. the dedication of the prosecutor and the work involved in the trials is worth reading about and the politics behind the scenes are also intriguing. it is shameful that all the hard work that went to obtaining convictions was discredited and discounted in favor of political expediency. it is clear that the prosecutions were for political reasons rather than moral ones and the failure of the u.s. and others to carry out legitimate death sentences etc.; is a disgrace. if nothing else the book is worth reading to vailidate the importance of the prosecutions.
