'One of the most gripping and powerful books imaginable' DOMINIC SANDBROOK, SUNDAY TIMES
When he receives an invitation to deliver a lecture in the Ukrainian city of Lviv, international lawyer Philippe Sands begins a journey on the trail of his family's secret history. In doing so, he uncovers an astonishing series of coincidences that lead him halfway across the world, to the origins of international law at the Nuremberg trial.
In an influential blend of memoir and detective story that broke new ground in the way history could be told and sparked a bestselling trilogy, East West Street meditates powerfully on the way memory, crime and guilt leave scars across generations.
Newly updated by the author, this anniversary edition brings this monumental classic up to date for a new era - one in which its questions of truth, memory and justice have never been more timely.
