Philippe is Professor of Public Understanding of Law at UCL as well as a practising barrister. His book explores the house at 38 Londres Street, Santiago—home to the legacies of two men whose lives are marked by decades of atrocity: Augusto Pinochet, former President of Chile, and Walther Rauff, a Nazi SS officer responsible for deploying gas vans during World War II. Blending memoir, historical investigation, and courtroom drama, Sands uncovers a hidden double narrative of mass murder.
Copies of the book will be available to buy and for signing.
