Synopsis

In this compelling personal account, forensic pathologist Malcolm Dodd describes his extraordinary contribution to the international human rights efforts in some of the most remote and troubled locations of the world. Working calmly and steadily through the horrific aftermath of violence in East Timor, the mass graves in Kosova and the jungles of the Solomon Islands, Malcolm applies his forensic expertise to help bring justice and dignity to the dead, and some comfort to the loves ones left behind. Coping under extreme conditions, he confronts daily the chilling evidence of man's inhumanity on an unimaginable scale.
