Garlanded with praise from the likes of John le Carré, Antony Beevor and Antonia Fraser, internationally acclaimed lawyer Philippe Sands will talk to us about his extraordinary new book, East West Street. Focusing on the origins of the legal terms ‘genocide’ and ‘crimes against humanity’, this is a uniquely personal exploration of the roots of international law, centring on the Nuremberg Trials, the city of Lviv and a riveting family memoir. Book early to secure your seat at what can only be a truly memorable conversation between Philippe Sands and Orlando Figes, Professor of History, Birkbeck College, University of London.
