Coles A Train of Powder: Essays at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A landmark work of journalism that examines guilt, accountability, and the aftermath of atrocity
In A Train of Powder, Rebecca West blends reportage with moral inquiry, moving beyond the courtroom to probe the deeper entanglements of law, history, and human frailty that shape how guilt is assigned and justice is understood.
Across four powerful accounts written between 1946 and 1954—many of which appeared in The New Yorker —West examines the Nuremberg war crimes trials with an unflinching eye, capturing the atmosphere of a world still reeling from the horrors of the Holocaust. She turns the lens, too, on a lynching trial in the American South and a notorious torso murder in England and follows the twists of an espionage case that reveals how fear and suspicion shape verdicts and lives alike. West reveals not only the mechanics of judgment, but its limits, distortions, and costs.
With prose that fuses rigorous observation and psychological insight, A Train of Powder doesn’t just recount court proceedings, it interrogates the very foundations of law and order, asking how we assign blame and reckon with evil. These narratives stand as compelling reminders of the human stories hidden in every headline.
