BOOK REVIEW 459 1991] LEGAL HISTORY FRANZ SCHLEGELBERGER (DER UNRECHTSSTAAT III). By Eli Nathans. Baden-Baden: Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft, 1990. Pp. 86. Reviewed by Mathias Reimann* The conduct of most government-employed lawyers in the Third Reich was marked by ready obedience to the Nazi regime, if not outright enthusiasm for Hitler. Since most of them escaped from the downfall of the Third Reich rather unscathed, and retained or regained their positions and influence in the new Federal Repub lic of Germany, West German legal historiography thought fit to neglect the Nazi period for decades. This saved the legal profession much embarrassment, but it also kept generations of law students (and thus lawyers) uninformed about the past of their profession well into the 1970s and 1980s. The last ten or fifteen years, however, have generated a growing body of scholarship about lawyers be tween 1933 and 1945. Among the most critical and interesting works are the special volumes (Sonderhefte) published by the Kritische Justiz, a critical legal periodical, under the title Der Unrechtsstaat 3 4 (The Injustice-State). Eli Nathans' essay is the third volume in this series. His little book is a fascinating biographical study of one of the most prominent jurists
