The Prosecutor

Deeply humane, finely wrought and so vital tale in this age of impunity, crackingly told * Philippe Sands, award-winning and bestselling author of THE RATLINE and EAST WEST STREET * A tour-de-force of both historical research and absolutely terrific writing. Fairweather's topic - the criminal prosecution of war criminals - is of the upmost importance, and the book itself reads like the best sort of cloak-and-dagger novel. As a writer and journalist, I gauge books by how much I learn about my own craft, and this book was a kind of masterclass * Sebastian Junger, #1 New York Times bestselling author of THE PERFECT STORM and TRIBE * Jack Fairweather continues his stellar writing career with an important new book about a hitherto unacknowledged hero, Fritz Bauer. In a world where the loathsome bacillus of anti-Semitism is once again on the rise, this well-researched, well-written and hard-hitting book could not be more timely. Fairweather has unearthed a vast amount of new information about the darkest period in the history of Mankind * Andrew Roberts, author of CHURCHILL: WALKING WITH DESTINY * Jack Fairweather brilliantly captures the poignant and insightful story of one lonely, determined man’s quest to bring Nazis to justice for the Holocaust. Fritz Bauer sought to bend the arc of history, a noble pursuit of great inspiration and agony. This is history not to be missed * David E. Hoffman, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of THE DEAD HAND and GIVE ME LIBERTY *
