Roland Paul The Nuremberg Trials. The Nazis and Their Crimes Against Humanity
This is the full story of the Nuremberg Trials, the most important criminal hearings ever heard, which established the principal that individuals will always be held responsible for their actions under international law, allowing the reconstruction of Europe to begin. Twenty-one Nazi leaders were charged with crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. It was the first time judges and members of the judiciary had been charged with enforcing immoral laws. Doctors too stood in the dock for the many hideous medical experiments conducted in concentration camps, while members of the death squads were tried for the indiscriminate murder of civilians. This fully illustrated book records these momentous events which helped bring closure to the second world war.

Lyon Samatha, Tan Daphne Supernatural Serial Killers
Albert Fish held the genuine belief that the murders he committed were upon instruction from God. Peter Stumpp, who started practising the "wicked arts from twelve years of age," was convinced he was a werewolf. There are many more murderous individuals like them. Supernatural Serial Killers explores the association between serial killers and the supernatural. The crimes committed by these men and women usually involved sexual deviance, cannibalism and violence toward children. In sixteenth century Europe, the problem became so significant that 'Werewolf Witch Trials' were conducted many have no idea that it was possible to be tried and convicted for the crime of being a Werewolf, but Lycanthropy was a serious and major social concern in the 1500s. In this book, approximately twenty supernatural serial killers are discussed, including their background, crimes, trials and defences. Using the latest scientific research, this book explains such phenomena as blood drinking, sadomasochism, the borrowing of other people's identities, how killers come to believe they are supernatural beings and much besides.
