The Prosecutor explains how Bauer used the trials to broaden the definition of culpability and promote a collective reckoning. It also reveals Bauer's involvement in locating and facilitating the capture of Adolf Eichmann, highlighting the political complexities and competing interests. Fairweather's book sheds light on Bauer's legacy and the ongoing struggle for historical truth and justice.https://cdn.penguin.co.uk/dam-assets/books/9780753558102/9780753558102-jacket-large.jpg
