The Wrong/Right Man

Product Information

I don’t know why he liked her, when did he fall in love and when did he became bff with Dakota’s brother. A chance,” he says easily as his thumb runs along the edge of my bottom lip. My eyes slide to half-mast and I lean into his touch.

The Right Wrong Man is a fascinating exploration of what kind of justice the bit players in history's greatest crimes deserve. With the authority of an academic and the eye of a novelist, Lawrence Douglas sheds bright new light on the perplexing case of John Demjanjuk, a small cog in the Nazis' genocidal machine. Although Demjanjuk was not ‘Ivan the Terrible,' as originally accused, Douglas argues that in the end he was Ivan-the-terrible-enough to have been properly convicted."—Jane Mayer, staff writer with the New Yorker Braxton... OMG, may I just say I ADORED every single thing about this man, even his cluelessness when it came to how overbearing he was being, made me fall hard for him. True OTT Alpha and I. LOVED. IT! Sexy, confident, devoted, giving and LOVING, this man really was the best and is now right there at the top - together with Nico, of course - of my fav ARR Alphas, and that is saying a lot with how much Alpha goodness she has given us. Braxton is as swoon worthy, sigh inducing as it goes! I’m twenty-five. I’ll settle down when I’m thirty,” he tells me, and I raise a brow. “Okay, forty.” She probably-okay, she definitely shouldn't have slept with him, regardless of how hot the chemistry between them was.

Maybe Dakota Newton shouldn't have assumed the gorgeous man with a devastating smile standing outside the coffee shop was her date. She probably-- Okay, she definitely shouldn't have slept with him, regardless of how hot the chemistry between them was. But how could she know Mr. Right was actually Mr. Wrong?

JAMIE, IF YOU’RE not out here in ten minutes, I’m leaving!” I shout down the hall toward my brother’s bedroom. I hate waiting. Patience isn’t one of my better qualities. And since I know I need to be across Seattle by nine to meet with the leasing office to get the keys for my new place and traffic this time of day is a disaster, my nerves are on edge with annoyance and worry. Douglas has produced an excellent account of the Demjanjuk case—or rather cases. His beautifully written book is the definitive work on the subject." —William Schabas, author of Unimaginable Atrocities: Justice, Politics, and Rights at the War Crimes Tribunals Maybe Dakota Newton shouldn’t have assumed the gorgeous man with a devastating smile standing outside the coffee shop was her date. She probably - okay, she definitely shouldn’t have slept with him, regardless of how hot the chemistry between them was. But how could she have known Mr. Right was actually Mr. Wrong? I’m a man who knows what he wants. And when I find something I want, I go after it until it belongs to me.”

Never?” I ask, my heart hurting at the idea of him not ever opening himself up to sharing his life with someone.

In 2009, Harper's Magazine sent war-crimes expert Lawrence Douglas to Munich to cover the last chapter of the lengthiest case ever to arise from the Holocaust: the trial of eighty-nine-year-old John Demjanjuk. Demjanjuk’s legal odyssey began in 1975, when American investigators received evidence alleging that the Cleveland autoworker and naturalized US citizen had collaborated in Nazi genocide. In the years that followed, Demjanjuk was stripped of his American citizenship and sentenced to death by a Jerusalem court as "Ivan the Terrible" of Treblinka—only to be cleared in one of the most notorious cases of mistaken identity in legal history. Finally, in 2011, after eighteen months of trial, a court in Munich convicted the native Ukrainian of assisting Hitler’s SS in the murder of 28,060 Jews at Sobibor, a death camp in eastern Poland. Maybe he shouldn’t have lied. Maybe he should have come clean. But in the end, it doesn’t matter, because now he has to prove he’s not the wrong man but the right one. Do you need me to show you the pictures again?” Jamie asks, bringing me out of my thoughts as the city moves by swiftly. So this is where you’re going to live?” Jamie asks as the doorman opens the door for us to walk into the building. Unfortunately, with The Wrong/Right Man she didn’t manage to get more than three stars from me. If I were completely honest, my rating would be closer to two stars, but it’s ARR and I can’t do that.

Lawrence Douglas has once again provided us with a history-laden and provocative analysis of Holocaust trials. His riveting study of the Demjanjuk saga is of importance, not just to historians and jurists, but to all those who wonder how can justice ever prevail when the crime being adjudicated is genocide."—Deborah E. Lipstadt, Emory University Douglas relates with authority and clarity the story of these complex legal processes. . . . [He] does justice to both the story's factual complexities and its moral and political conundrums. . . . The Right Wrong Man, from its summary title to its thoughtful postscript, is an impressive work, as well as a timely one in its demonstration of the power of legal systems to learn from past missteps."—Anthony Julius, New York Times Book Review

It means all the information you have on your phone is now linked with mine, including the app to get into your apartment.” 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. I’m not in the market for a wife, Dakota.” His tone softens as he continues. “I know you want that. A family, to get married and have kids, but I don’t.” If I hear her say “Ugh, it’s because you’re a CEO”, “Being a CEO ...” “He’s a CEO..” We get it, he is a freaking CEO.An excellent legal-minded elucidation of the long trail toward the conviction of a notorious concentration camp guard."— Kirkus Nunca habia leido nada de la autora hasta este momento, por lo que no puedo saber si su estilo al escribir es siempre asi o si fue solo en esta novela, pero si soy sincera, no me gusto su forma de escribir. La narracion es plana y muy irreal, ademas, muchas de las escenas entre la pareja protagonista son de verguenza ajena, ninguno actua coherentemente segun lo que sucede, y no me hagan hablar de algunos de los comportamientos de el, me parecio perturbador a mas no poder, y lo peor de todo es que si esa actitud la tuviera un hombre que no fuera millonario, ya no seria atractivo, lo que yo llamo un caso claro de Christian Grey style. 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.
