Philippe Sands with Patrick Radden Keefe: 38 Londres Street

Philippe Sands, world-renowned lawyer and acclaimed author of East West Street, joins The New Yorker’s Patrick Radden Keefe (Say Nothing) for a gripping conversation about bringing two of the 20th century’s most notorious criminals to justice — and Sands’ new book, 38 Londres Street: On Impunity, Pinochet in England, and a Nazi in Patagonia.

In 1998, Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet was arrested at a medical clinic in London. After a brutal 17-year reign marked by disappearances and torture — frequently tied to the infamous detention center at the heart of Santiago, Londres 38 — Pinochet was being indicted for international crimes and extradition to Spain. Three decades earlier, SS-Commander Walter Rauff was arrested in his home in Punta Arenas, at the southern tip of Chile, for the mass murder of tens of thousands of Jews during World War II. Were their stories connected?

In a startling blend of memoir, courtroom drama, and travelogue, Sands’ 38 Londres Street gives us a front row seat to the Pinochet trial — where Sands acted as a barrister for Human Rights Watch — and teases out the dictator’s unexpected connection to Rauff, a Nazi who ended up managing a king crab cannery in Patagonia.

Hear Sands and Radden Keefe, two of today’s most exhaustive and brilliant historical reporters, as they bring the high crimes of the 20th century into vivid contemporary relief — exposing the chilling truth behind the lives of two corrupt men, their intertwined destinies, and how they were brought to justice.
