In The Prosecutor, award-winning author and former war reporter Jack Fairweather brings to life the remarkable true story of Fritz Bauer, a gay German Jew who survived the Nazis and made it his mission to force his countrymen to confront their complicity in the genocide, only to find himself pitted against a nation determined to bury the past. His journey took him deep into the heart of West Germany, where his fight for justice set him against his own government and a network of former Nazis and spies determined to silence him.
Drawing on unpublished family papers, newly declassified German records, and exclusive interviews Fairweather immerses readers in postwar West Germany.
