TESTIMONIALS ABOUT THE BOOK:

"a bomb of a book"
Claire Armitstead, 'GUARDIAN'

"Lara Pawson's engrossing and disturbing investigation... ends up reminding us of just how elusive historical truth can be... Liars, killers and heroes are here - if only we could tell them apart...
'IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE' may be a history book, or a work of investigative journalism, but it's also a book of short stories."
Cassie Werber, 'WALL STREET JOURNAL'
