  1. 1. 38 Londres Street

    On Impunity, Pinochet in England, and a Nazi in Patagonia
    Cover of '38 Londres Street' by Philippe Sands

    In October 1998 Augusto Pinochet was arrested in London on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity. The book reconstructs the arrest and the complex, cross-border legal battles that followed in the UK, Spain and Chile, and shows how the case revived modern international criminal justice and challenged the idea of immunity for former heads of state. Personal perspectives — victims, lawyers, prosecutors, judges and friends — are woven through the legal narrative to show its human impact.
