Gustave Mark Gilbert (1911 – 1977) was a psychologist best known for his writings containing observations of high-ranking Nazi leaders during the Nuremberg trials. Gilbert's published work is still a subject of study in many universities and colleges, especially in the field of psychology. During World War II, Gilbert, because of his knowledge of German, was sent overseas as a translator. In 1945, Gilbert was sent to Nuremberg, Germany, as a translator for the International Military Tribunal for the trials of the World War II German prisoners. Gilbert was appointed the prison psychologist of the German prisoners. Gilbert became a confidant of Hermann Göring, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Wilhelm Keitel, Hans Frank, Rudolf Höss, and Ernst Kaltenbrunner, among others. Gilbert and Kelley administered the Rorschach inkblot test to the 22 defendants in the Nazi leadership group prior to the first set of trials. Gilbert also participated in the Nuremberg trials and provided testimony attesting to the sanity of Rudolf Hess. Gilbert testified in the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem. Gilbert described how both Ernst Kaltenbrunner and Rudolf Höss tried to put the responsibility for the extermination of the Jews on each other's doorstep. Eichmann appeared in the accounts of both men. He presented a document, handwritten by Höss, that surveys the process of extermination at Auschwitz and different sums of people gassed there – under Höss as commandant and according to an oral report by Eichmann.

Boards scuffed, top and bottom edges of spine somewhat worn, discoloration inside boards. Name of previous owner and date in ink inside the front cover. Gustave Mark Gilbert (September 30, 1911 – February 6, 1977) was an American psychologist best known for his writings containing observations of high-ranking Nazi leaders during the Nuremberg trials. In 1947 he published part of his diary, consisting of observations taken during interviews, interrogations, "eavesdropping" and conversations with German prisoners, under the title Nuremberg Diary. In 1945, after the end of the war, Gilbert was sent to Nuremberg, Germany, as a translator for the International Military Tribunal for the trials of the World War II German prisoners. Gilbert was appointed the prison psychologist of the German prisoners. During the process of the trials Gilbert became, after Douglas Kelley, the confidant of Hermann Göring, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Wilhelm Keitel, Hans Frank, Oswald Pohl, Otto Ohlendorf, Rudolf Höss, and Ernst Kaltenbrunner, among others. Gilbert also participated in the Nuremberg trials as the American Military Chief Psychologist and provided testimony attesting to the sanity of Rudolf Hess. His 1950 book The Psychology of Dictatorship was an attempt to profile the Nazi German dictator Adolf Hitler using as reference the testimonials of Hitler's closest generals and commanders. Gilbert's published work is still a subject of study in many universities and colleges, especially in the field of psychology. More

Fort Lauderdale, FL: Quick Series Publishing, 2009. Third Edition [stated]. Spiral bound. Unpaginated (approximately 60 pages). Illustrations (color). Cover has slight wear and soiling. This is AFRRI Special Publication 03-1. Medical defense against radiological warfare is one of the least emphasized segments of modern medical education. Forty years of nuclear-doomsday predictions made any realistic preparation for radiation casualty management an untenable political consideration. The end of the Cold War has dramatically reduced the likelihood of strategic nuclear weapons use and thermonuclear war. Unfortunately, the proliferation of nuclear material and technology has made the acquisition and adversarial use of ionizing radiation weapons more probable than ever. In the modern era, military personnel and their nation's population will expect that a full range of medical modalities will be employed to decrease the morbidity and mortality from the use of these weapons. Fortunately, treatment of radiation casualties is both effective and practical. More
