A Passing Fury

This is a fine book that does a great job of debunking one of the most enduring myths in history.

History of War

Splendid book… Much more than a historical narrative and assessment… This is a superb book which offers no easy answers but invites the reader to join its author on a grim odyssey.

History Today

[An] earnest, unsettling book… Williams is a thoughtful, lucid writer, with a lawyer’s appetite for detail… A Passing Fury is heartfelt, moving and often powerfully written.

Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times

A haunting, sensitive and thoughtful study

Nigel Jones, Daily Telegraph

***** Excellent Book.

Nicholas Goodman, Law Society's Gazette

Williams has put together an original polemic against our assumptions about these trials, including those at Nuremberg.

David Herman, New Statesman

Gripping and original.

Catholic Herald

Williams is a first-rate storyteller who has a gift for bringing the past to life in an accessible and compelling way.

Hester Vaizey, Times Higher Education

A fascinating read.

Lisa Pine, BBC History Magazine

Williams… carries the reader along in his fluent and passionate prose

Richard J. Evans, Guardian

Absorbing... Williams skilfully reveals a chaotic world in which war crimes investigation teams, generally lacking even the most basic resources, were left to do their best in extremely trying circumstances

Scotsman

The book [has] an attractively meditative quality.

Lawrence Douglas, Times Literary Supplement
