A request of my readers: does anyone know of a good treatment (narrative or philosophical) of the German aggressive war and war-related atrocities in WWII? I am assembling material for a freshman seminar that will look closely at the 1945-1948 period, and I want to spend two or three classes building up the various perceived problems to which the Nuremberg IMT, UN Charter, and Universal Declaration of Human Rights/Convention on Genocide are responses. I have a couple obvious candidates for the Allied side of things ("Mr. Truman's Degree" and Walzer's "WWII: Why Was This War Different?") and no shortage of Holocaust-related narratives, but a perusal of my memory, my bookshelves, and the intertubes isn't bringing anything to mind.
