Review: 38 Londres Street: On Impunity, Pinochet in England and a Nazi in
Patagonia – Philippe Sands (Weidenfeld & Nicolson)
Pinochet and Rauff? They were alike. Each had two faces. One gentle, the
other hard. They were joined.
And they both got away with it … Sort of.
Philippe Sands loves to tell stories. A master of historical non-fiction, he
has become known for his unique blend of deeply personal, legal and historical
narratives, which weave together incredible coincidences with moving stories of
human courage in the face of mass atrocities and horror.
Sands is a leading practitioner of international law, a professor at University
College London, an author, a playwright, and the recipient of numerous literary
awards. He is also someone whose family was murdered in the vortex of the
Holocaust in Ukraine.
With his previous two books,
East West Street: On the Origins of Genocide and
Crimes Against Humanity (2016) and
The Ratline: Love, Lies and Justice on the
Trail of a Nazi Fugitive (2020), he demonstrated his unique skill in
presenting complex legal cases to avid readers.
His latest book,
38 Londres Street: On Impunity, Pinochet in England and a
Nazi in Patagonia, rounds out the trilogy.
If it weren’t based on facts, one might think it was a brilliantly crafted
thriller."
