Review
Praise for American Nuremberg:"In American Nuremberg [Gordon] trades academic nuance for a plainspoken, even folksy, prose style. The effect is to present damning legal arguments as common moral sense. The book is eminently valuable in distinguishing the categories of potential crimes and the national and international laws relevant to them." --Jeremy Varon, Los Angeles Review of BooksPraise for Mainstreaming Torture:"Gordon’s terrific 2014 book Mainstreaming Torture put her on the map as a compelling human rights advocate. The book dissects the role of political rhetoric, media discourse, popular culture, and even academic treatise in making torture (by whatever name) acceptable. It stands as an instant classic among accounts of 9/11 and its aftermath, joining the path-breaking research of Alfred McCoy, Jane Mayer, Andy Worthington, and Karen Greenberg." --Jeremy Varon, Los Angeles Review of Books

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.†Santayana's seminal quote, while often dismissed as trite, has the ring of truth to carry it forward. Rebecca Gordon’s newest book is an attempt to give us, as a nation, an opportunity to remember a past that we’d much rather forget.While I initially had some measure of discomfort with the evocation of the Nuremberg Trials, mainly because of the scope of the Holocaust seems so much greater than that of the so-called “War on Terrorâ€, Gordon’s thorough and meticulous account of the multitude of crimes committed by nearly a generation’s worth of American politicians was incredibly persuasive. She has clearly done her homework - as evidenced by her ability to not only cite chapter and verse of applicable International Law, but also to guide the reader through her argument with documented facts and, in many cases, the words of the accused themselves.She pulls no punches and spares no one. Even the current administration is called to account for it’s advocation of drone strikes as a cleaner method to fight our own Dirty War. It is particularly dismaying to realize that what could have been a legacy of renewal for the Obama administration, after two terms of bitter political divide and the weariness of nearly a decade of war, will be forever marred by a continuation, if not escalation, of the mistakes of it’s predecessors.This book has particular relevance today, in the heat of an unprecedented level of bellicose campaign rhetoric and an increasing frequency of attacks in Europe and the Middle East. Our next president will have to make a choice on how to deal with ISIS, whether or not to take us into a third decade of an undefined war, and whether or not to bring an end to an indefensible treatment of fellow human beings. I would hope that each and every candidate for elected office, from municipal to federal level, takes a few hours to read this book and think hard about how far we have removed ourselves from our humanity. Because while our elected officials are, indeed, responsible for their own actions, we are the ones that not only put them there - we are the ones that keep them there.I look forward to a new Nuremberg.
I have read the initial chapters about the legality of Americ's actions. When we need detailed explanations about the legality of this environment before we are able to decide whether or not a particular action needs to be punished, then we know we are troubled intellects and troubled souls. Once in this sea of generating laws for the conduct of war we have no way to ground ourselves toward deciding this act produces pain on the body therefore do not do it. We want a law to establish a boundary so that we can feel good about our actions taken and also feel good about taking revenge on those who violate our law. If one thinks this description is a mess of generalizations then welcome to the environment of laws. Nuremberg Trials used to condemn neo-cons? Certainly, arrest them all and prosecute them because it is obvious. Identical to the Nazi criminals. Gordon disagrees. If one wants read a pacified legal rendition of these events both 1945-1950 and 2001-2016, then these early chapters do it for you. I wish I were smart enough and had enough money to finance an updated reading of the Nazi Nuremberg Trials. A reading that judges Allied war crimes as well. As a professor wrote about my argument: The Allies had to do what it took to defeat Germany and Japan. And today, 2016, his position dominates. America does what it takes to get the job done. So, regardless of how Gordon ends her legal analysis, if we need a law that defines torture, then we are in trouble. Wars of aggression by America or by Israel or by England is a crime. Torture is a crime. Gordon, however, must have a legal basis from which to set her argument - I suppose I can say - on the side of being right. Reminds me of the reasons put forth for Nazi Nuremberg Trials. Allies had to be right and good while in the background the facts state that all leaders of the nations should have been tried for war crimes, torture, and mass murder of civilians. Begone facade of innocence. Certainly, legally, we Americans can charge Assad of Syria for war crimes while we commit identical crimes elsewhere without being charged. Weird legal reasoning to me. Gordon describes this legal mess. Depressing, really.I wonder how the remaining chapters will go?
