I was blown away by Erna Paris’s Long Shadows: Truth, Lies and History, her incisive study of the Holocaust and genocides in history, and the effect they have over the generations that follow. When The Sun Climbs Slow: The International Criminal Court and the Struggle for Justice came into Knopf, Louise Dennys was editing another book, so I was assigned it. The book is a brilliant examination of the International Criminal Court. Erna is an intrepid researcher, and I will not forget her interview with John Bolton, in which he tried to defend the US’s pathetic refusal to join the Court. It is a foundational book on the subject, and one of the most important that I worked on when I was at Knopf Canada.
