homework and exercises - Composition of Lorentz transformations using generators and the Wigner rotation


enter image description here


I solved this problem by painful calculations of Lorentz matrices. However, I heard that there is a much easier solution using the generators of boosts and rotations and their commutation relations, plus the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff identity. How is this possible? Could anyone please show me?
