Description

I loved his personality. At first he came off as a possessive, controlling alpha because he is and unapologetic about it. But you find out later in the story why he is that way with her. I found him endearing and swoon worthy. Dakota has been through a lot in her life and she doesn’t realize that Braxton is just the type of man she needs. He hurt me, but he didn’t kill my dream.” I start to chew my nail, but he grabs my wrist to stop me. I just recently discovered this author with her Until Him/Her series and I fell in love. Her heroes are so alpha and I love an alpha and Braxton fits the mold.

In this insightful and gracefully written book, Douglas elevates the Demjanjuk case from a legal curiosity—one involving an initially mistaken prosecution followed by a later valid one—to a study in the uses and limits of the law when it confronts genocide." —Michael B. Mukasey, former US attorney general Guilt and disappointment in myself for letting a man change me make it hard to breathe. “I’m sorry.” The Right Wrong Man is powerful, richly observed, and darkly entertaining. Anyone interested in postwar history will want to read it."—Elizabeth Kolbert, staff writer with the New YorkerI’m twenty-five. I’ll settle down when I’m thirty,” he tells me, and I raise a brow. “Okay, forty.” Attorney Frank O'Connor sets out to prove that Manny cannot possibly be the right man: at the time of the first hold-up he was on vacation with his family, and at the time of the second his jaw was so swollen that witnesses would certainly have noticed. Of three people who the couple played cards with at the vacation hotel, two have died and the third cannot be found. All this devastates Rose, whose resulting depression forces her to be hospitalized. the heroine: she really got on my nerves with her constant push and pull towards the hero. Up until 70% of the book, she admitted to being attracted to him, but she was ALWAYS mad at him for one thing or another. Example: every time his phone rang, she would bitch about it and him being a millionaire CEO, you can imagine his phone lighting up quite often.

An excellent legal-minded elucidation of the long trail toward the conviction of a notorious concentration camp guard."— Kirkus Sophisticated and suspenseful, the book provides a trenchant analysis of the legal and moral dilemmas surrounding trials for genocidal crimes against humanity. ---Glenn Altschuler, Jerusalem PostIf someone would have told me Troy was cheating on me, I would have laughed and told them they were crazy. I thought he loved me. I thought he was going to be the man I spent the rest of my life with. I had no idea that when I was planning a wedding and getting ready to spend the rest of my life with him, he was searching for something else. Dakota was a great leading lady too. She absolutely thought he was nuts and she didn’t allow his crazy to just steamroll her life. She stood up for herself and she questioned and argued every time his brand of crazy came out to play. I really liked her. She was her own person and she knew what she wanted and she worked to get it. And even when Braxton was acting crazy and she understood the why’s she still stood up for herself and went ahead with what she wanted. In this excellent book, Lawrence Douglas, a thoughtful student of legal attempts to punish atrocities committed in wartime, uncovers the strange case of the non-German who, impressed into serving as a Nazi concentration camp guard, was, many years later, repeatedly tried as a war criminal and ultimately convicted."—Richard A. Posner, US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

A wonderfully lucid book about the bizarre and fascinating case of John Demjanjuk, the only American to lose his citizenship twice, and about the much larger issues of law and morality that arise when individuals are held to account for crimes committed by the state." —Scott Turow, author of IdenticalDe verdad que no se que decir de esta lectura. The Wrong / Right Man empezo de forma correcta, me gusto esa pequeña equivocacion que llevo a los protagonistas a conocerse, pero luego de ese inicio, la trama se descarrilo a lo grande.

The Right Wrong Man is an important read about the accountability those who do wrong ultimately face."— San Francisco Book ReviewMaybe Dakota Newton shouldn’t have assumed that the gorgeous man with a devastating smile, standing out side of the coffee shop was her date. M]asterful. . . . [D]eftly delivers disquisitions on nuanced legal questions as if they were plot points in a thriller, making his demanding book a pleasure even for readers unschooled in the particulars of international law."— The Wall Street Journal Impeccably researched, imaginatively crafted, and beautifully written, The Right Wrong Man is a brilliant analysis of the longest, most complex and confusing, and most controversial series of legal measures ever initiated against any Holocaust perpetrator—John Demjanjuk. The story of the three decades of litigation required to convict him is told here as only Lawrence Douglas can tell it."—Charles W. Sydnor Jr., Virginia Holocaust Museum A perceptive and thought-provoking analysis. . . . The story told by Lawrence Douglas in The Right Wrong Man is a vital part of that narrative of barbarism [and] a remorselessly fascinating account of the longest trial of any defendant accused of Nazi crimes. ---Oliver Kamm, Jewish Chronicle
