This book examines how ideas about crime and judicial procedure that had developed in a domestic context influenced the representation and understanding of war crimes trials, victims of war crimes, and war criminals in post-WW II Britain. The depiction of Belsen concentration camp and the subsequent British-run trial are a focal point.
