East West Street: On the Origins of Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity

Sands, an eminent professor of international law at University College, London, has written an engrossing book based on meticulous research, delivered with lucid, gripping prose. I may, previously, have been professionally stimulated by books on international law, but this is the first on the subject that I actually could not put down. The book ties together a description of Sands’ family history, including its secrets; stories of love and intrigue; a historical paean of praise for the cosmopolitan city of Lviv; and a legal history of the genesis of the crimes of genocide and crimes against humanity.
