"""Forensic and troubling, deeply humane, utterly gripping, a book of singular importance for our times, on law as story and life, superbly rendered for the reader in English."" --Philippe Sands, author of East West Street and The Last Colony ""Emmanuelle Carr�re has written what will surely be remembered as a classic account of the Paris attacks trial, one that is rigorous and admirably self-effacing. Yet as heartbreaking as V13 is, Carr�re never succumbs to despair, or to a seductive pessimism about France's future: his book is an affirmation of life, of survival, of the bonds of community and solidarity that allow us to rebuild in the aftermath of shattering violence."" --Adam Shatz, author of The Rebel's Clinic: The Revolutionary Lives of Frantz Fanon ""Brilliant. Clear-eyed, wise, humane and utterly compelling."" --Paul Murray, author of The Bee Sting ""Impelled by a tolerant mind's desire to confront the intolerable, packed with humane insight and indelible detail, V13 is an utterly riveting account of one of contemporary Europe's darkest nights-and its anguished aftermath-by a French literary colossus."" --Rob Doyle, author of Autobibliography"
