Description: Hans Litten, a courageous German-Jewish lawyer who defended civil rights in the Weimar Republic, was one of the only people to ever cross-examine Hitler on the witness stand, and the only one to reduce him to helpless rage. This book is a dramatic account of that trial, and the gripping and definitive story of a fascinating figure--forgotten today--of anti-Nazi resistance.
Review Quotes: "Hett has written a riveting account of Litten's life."--Jewish Book World
"Hett's well-researched history is an excellent introduction, and a creepy reminder of the insidious power of evil."--Dick Cady, ForeWord Magazine"Hett adroitly explains the workings of the Weimar legal system and challenges the conventional wisdom that the German legal profession was, prior to 1933, so right wing that its transition to Nazism was an easy and logical step....Recommended for all libraries."--Library Journal
