My Trial as a War Criminal (By Leo Szilard, Inventor of Nuclear Chain Reaction)
"My Trial as a War Criminal" is a 1949 short story by atomic physicist Leo Szilard.[1][2][3] Szilard had played a leading role in the Manhattan Project, and in the story he imagines the kind of show trial he might have had if he had been prosecuted in a manner similar to the Nuremberg Trials. Szilard earlier drafted the letter Albert Einstein signed, to Franklin Roosevelt, suggesting the US develop the military uses of nuclear power, and later the petition unsuccessfully advocating against the use of nuclear weapons.
