Several of you recommended this title to me in the last few months, so I am especially pleased to suggest our book of the month for June as Philippe Sand’s ‘East West Street’ (2017). A mixture of family memoir with a compelling legal history, the book examines the intertwining destinies of the Jewish lawyers (particularly Hersch Lauterpacht and Rafael Lemkin) who would prepare material for the trial of Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg which gave rise to the modern system of justice.
