Recenzje

Judgment at Tokyo is a work of singular importance - one that manages to be balanced, original, human, accessible, and riveting. It is of huge relevance to our times in the search for a decent place for ideas about justice and their delivery in a world that is infused with double standards and patent hypocrisies. Philippe Sands, author of East-West Street
