Justice Delayed: The Restoration of Justice in Bavaria Under American Occupation, 1945-1949

By Jeffrey S. Gaab

In 1945, at the end of World War II, American occupation forces began the daunting task of rebuilding democratic society in war-shattered Germany. Key to this reconstruction was the establishment of a democratically oriented legal system. Justice Delayed examines how the United States attempted to reconstitute a democratic legal system in Bavaria on the ruins of Hitler's thousand-year Reich.
