General
This is a bound volume containing miscellaneous documents related to the Office, Chief of Counsel for War Crimes (OCCWC). Of particular interest is an outline of the research and publication possibilities of the war crimes trials, by Telford Taylor, which is succeeded by a number of reprinted articles about the trials by various authors. The documents in this volume record various aspects of OCCWC activities, such as who served on prosecution teams, when indictments were filed, when defendants were sentenced, etc. This volume would most likely provide a good overview of the OCCWC and its activities from 1946-1949.
