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. In “The Prosecutor,” bestselling author Jack Fairweather brings to life the remarkable story of Fritz Bauer, a Jewish lawyer who returned to Germany to prosecute war crimes. Fairweather draws on unpublished family papers, newly declassified German records, and exclusive interviews to reveal the courtroom battles that were fought to establish the legacy of the Holocaust and the personal cost of speaking out. The result is a searing portrait of one man’s courage in forcing his people—and the world—to face the truth.
