38 Londres Street
By Philippe Sands
Review by Kazia
Sands skillfully blends intense courtroom drama with gripping historical investigation in this chilling book on two formidable figures who both managed to escape justice – and the contentious legacies they left behind. Riveting from start to finish, this book was written with an unwavering commitment to truth-telling and a deeply human touch. Every twist had me hooked, every victim anecdote a solemn weight and perpetrator admission a cause for pensive thought. The narrative Sands weaves is easily followed and seamlessly interlaces various figures and timelines into a comprehensive picture. An absolutely engaging read and a valuable addition to the literature on political impunity – this book is a fine work of storytelling worthy of your time and attention.
Perfect for readers of The Ratline, East West Street or Hitler’s People.
