From Nuremberg to the atrocities at My Lai-the worst crime ever perpetrated by the American military-explore how wartime actions help shape justice.

In 1946, inside a crowded German courtroom, a dozen men accused of the most gruesome atrocities imaginable awaited their fate. The Nazi commanders who were sentenced at Nuremberg helped to reshape the face of justice in the world, establishing "Crimes Against Humanity" as a new level of the evil of man.

Get an inside look at the Nuremberg trials and two other landmark cases in this in-depth examination of WAR CRIMES. Explore the most notorious case in American military history, where Lt. William Calley alone of 33 defendants was found guilty of murdering over 400 unarmed women, children and old men in the remote Vietnam village of My Lai. And relive the sensational case of John Demjanjuk accused of being "one of the most barbaric Nazi figures of the Holocaust one of the final chapters of World War II."

With expert commentary, interviews with the attorneys involved, period accounts and rare footage, this is a penetrating look at WAR CRIMES.
