The aftermath of World War Two, 1945. A world awaits justice.
Yanked from routine army duty to serve as an interpreter at Nuremberg, Sebastian Reinhardt, a young German-American, seems fated to be intimately involved with the lives and deaths of others. In hearing the stories of the infamous Nazi killers and war makers, he encounters not only the towering figures of that dark history - among them Albert Speer, Hermann Goering, and the untried shadow of Adolf Hitler - but also those from his own dark history as the lives of his ancestors become vitally relevant.
Torn between his two identities, between past and present, Reinhardt must undergo his own personal journey to judge those guilty for himself.
But can one man find justice in the face of so much hate? And will the World ever be able to move on from the crimes committed by the Nazis?
A gripping account of actions and consequences, Nuremberg: The Reckoning is a riveting novel of insight and deep understanding, of treachery and vengeance, and of the struggle for justice found in a hangman's noose.
Praise for Willaim F. Buckley Jr.:
