Item description from seller

Published in London by William Hodge and Company in 1951 as part of the prestigious War Crimes Trials series, The Double Tenth Trial: Trial of Sumida Haruzo and Twenty Others stands as an indispensable verbatim transcript of post-war international jurisprudence. Edited by Colin Sleeman and Samuel Charles Silkin, who served as prosecution counsel and president of the military court respectively, the volume features a authoritative foreword by Viscount Simon.
