THE NEW BOOK FROM THE BESTSELLING, COSTA PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF
THE VOLUNTEERThe true story of a Jewish lawyer who returned to
Germany after WWII to prosecute war crimes, only to find himself
pitted against a nation determined to bury the past.At the end of
the Nuremberg trial in 1946, some of the greatest war criminals in
history were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi
murderers and collaborators remained at large. The Allies were
ready to overlook their pasts as the Cold War began, and the
horrors of the Holocaust were in danger of being forgotten.In The
Prosecutor, Jack Fairweather brings to life the remarkable story of
Fritz Bauer, a gay German Jew who survived the Nazis and made it
his mission to force his countrymen to confront their complicity in
the genocide. In this deeply researched book, Fairweather draws on
unpublished family papers, newly declassified German records, and
exclusive interviews to immerse readers in the dark, unfamiliar
world of postwar West Germany where those who implemented genocide
run the country, the CIA is funding Hitler's former spy-ring in the
east, and Nazi-era anti-gay laws are strictly enforced.But once
Bauer lands on the trail of Adolf Eichmann, he won't be
intimidated. His journey takes him deep into the rotten heart of
West Germany, where his fight for justice will set him against his
own government and a network of former Nazis and spies determined
to silence him.In a time when the history of the Holocaust is taken
for granted, The Prosecutor reveals the courtroom battles that were
fought to establish its legacy and the personal cost of speaking
out. The result is a searing portrait of a nation emerging from the
ruins of fascism and one man's courage in forcing his people--and
the world--to face the truth.
