This is “a monumental achievement ... told with love, anger and precision” (John le Carré, acclaimed internationally bestselling author).\n\nEast West Street looks at the personal and intellectual evolution of the two men who simultaneously originated the ideas of “genocide” and “crimes against humanity,” both of whom, not knowing the other, studied at the same university with the same professors, in “the Paris of Ukraine,” a major cultural center of Europe, a city variously called Lemberg, Lwów, Lvov, or Lviv.\n\nPhillipe Sands changes the way we look at the world, at our understanding of history and how civilization has tried to cope with mass murder\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0525433724\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0525433724.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sands, Philippe\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
