A magnificent account of a noble obsession - the determination to make war criminals, and the people behind them, pay for what they have done . Steve Crawshaw, who has devoted himself to campaigning for precisely that, explains in calm, careful detail why it's not only possible, but (in this disturbing age of Ukraine and Gaza) is actually starting to happen. For me, Prosecuting The Powerful isn't just compelling and very moving, it has all the force of a well-crafted thriller. I literally couldn't stop reading it.
