"The authors and their team made important investigative work for, directly or indirectly, gathering the colossal amount of information. In order to dig into the 500 selected cases (100 cases per year, 1945-1949), they elaborated a questionnaire containing many lines about the trials. The questionnaire tried to cover various aspects of the cases: sociodemographic data of the defendant, the lawyer, the indictment, the hearings, the sentence and the witnesses. In spite of the very poor precision of the data from the documents, some of conclusions they reached are really spectacular."
