The Writers' Castle: Reporting History at Nuremberg by Uwe Neumahr takes you on an unforgettable journey through one of the most significant events in modern history. This captivating narrative focuses on the famous writers and reporters who gathered in Nuremberg in 1945, witnessing the unprecedented Nuremberg Trials of Nazi war criminals.
Step inside the chaotic press camp at Schloss Faber-Castell, where literary giants such as Rebecca West, John Dos Passos, Martha Gellhorn, Erika Mann, and Janet Flanner found themselves sharing cramped quarters, grappling with meager meals, and discussing the gravity of the trials over spirited drinks. They faced the immense challenge of capturing the essence of the trials, striving to articulate the horrors and complexities of a world forever altered.
This book offers readers a rare glimpse into the dynamic interactions between Soviet and Western journalists, the tensions that shaped their narratives, and the personal transformations they experienced amidst the unfolding drama. The Writers' Castle is not just a recounting of historical events; it is a profound exploration of the intersections between literature, politics, and human resilience.
Immerse yourself in this compelling narrative that reveals how history is crafted, and witness the powerful voices that shaped our understanding of justice and humanity during one of the darkest chapters of the twentieth century.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
