It’s a pretty long book, but Telford Taylor’s “The Anatomy of the Nuremberg Trials” is really interesting if you are intrigued by the subject. He really goes into the weeds of what it took to get all of the allied nations to agree on how to try these people (given each country had pretty different rules for trials).
Edit: I should have noted that it’s an autobiographical work and Taylor was the lead prosecutor against the accused.

Sadly this didn't happen to Japan and most of them got away.

The corrupt authoritarian regime didn't "inevitably" end.
It took millions of lives and massive industrial output to crush it with brute force.
