Event 121
Philippe Sands
Philippe Sands is a world-renowned lawyer, a frequent CNN and BBC commentator and winner of the UK’s biggest non-fiction prize for East West Street.
In his first AWF appearance he discusses his new book that has been almost a decade in the making, 38 Londres Street, with Linda Clark.
A unique blend of memoir, courtroom drama and travelogue, it traces the footsteps of two of the 20th century’s most merciless criminals – Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet and SS Commander Walther Rauff – each of whom tested the limits of immunity and impunity after Nuremberg.
Hailed as “an indelible and enthralling work of moral witness" by Patrick Radden Keefe; by Ian Rankin as having “the pace of a thriller” and “a true masterpiece” by Henry Marsh, this is a book, and conversation, not to miss.
