Book Review: ‘The Prosecutor,’ by Jack Fairweather In “The Prosecutor,” Jack Fairweather tells the story of Fritz Bauer, the German jurist who helped find Eichmann in Argentina and brought Auschwitz guards to justice.

"Gripping and well-researched… his book arrives as major political parties are working to stamp the memory of the Holocaust out of public consciousness. Fairweather’s book would be haunting to read at any time; it is especially bitter today."

Opinion | Trump’s Assault on the Systems That Keep Americans Safe Is Dangerous Eviscerating modern state institutions almost always clears a path for a different political order, built on loyalties and connections to the ruler.

“When Mr. Trump and his cronies declare that they will destroy the deep state, it’s really the modern state — the state that supports the foundations of both public and private life — that they have in mind.”
