Book
V13 : chronicle of a trial / Emmanuel Carrère ; translated from the French by John Lambert ; postscript by Grégoire Leménager.
The book V13 by Emmanuel Carrère recounts the extraordinary trial surrounding the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, focusing on the Bataclan and other sites. Taking place over ten months from September 2021 to June 2022, it was the most complex and expensive trial in French history, involving 20 defendants, over 300 lawyers, and thousands of victims. Carrère attended daily, documenting the courtroom dynamics and personal stories of lawyers, survivors, families, and defendants. Rather than a mere legal narrative, the book explores the human dimensions of the tragedy, delving into themes of justice, morality, and the interplay of good and evil. The work is likened to Eichmann in Jerusalem for its depth and ambition.
