Read the review.

Hunting History: A Writer’s Odyssey is an unforgettable journey through time, memory, and the enduring power of storytelling. From an unexpected visit to a Nazi death camp to gripping encounters with perpetrators of atrocities, their victims, determined activists, and wily propagandists, award-winning author Erna Paris takes readers on a deeply personal exploration of how history is remembered, manipulated, and lived.

Blending investigative journalism with memoir, Paris traces a lifelong quest to understand the psychological and cultural forces that shape the best and worst of human behavior—its triumphs and its darkest impulses. In this, her final work, she delivers a profound and urgent meditation on truth, justice, and the writer’s role in illuminating the past to guide the future.
