Author: Philippe Sands Q.C.
About the book: Philippe Sands, one of the foremost human rights lawyers and past winner of the Baillie Gifford prize, turns his hand to Pinochet's regime in Chile. Once asked to advise the dictator, Sands instead worked against him, and over the course of decades discovered the bizarre connection between Pinochet and Walther Rauff, a Nazi war criminal who fled to Chile to become an architect of further terror. The full story is told for the first time in 38 Londres Street, blending memoir, narrative and analysis in one compelling tale.
