Synopsis

_______________ ‘A gifted and brave reporter, who has personally hunted down those she believed responsible for the massacres' - The Times 'A gripping human journey ... superbly researched and written' - Roy Gutman, Pulitzer-prize winning reporter 'A compelling documentary in words ... Her book will convince you that we're doomed if we don't seek justice' - New York Times _______________ An award-winning reporter's impassioned view of the atrocities in Rwanda and Bosnia and their implications for humanity everywhere. From her unique vantage point as a reporter directly covering the reality and aftermath of genocide in Bosnia and Rwanda, award-winning journalist Elizabeth Neuffer tells the compelling story of two parallel journeys toward justice in each country - that of the international war crime tribunals, and that of the people left behind. In a book packed with devastating stories, including those of victims and perpetrators, forensic experts and tribunal judges, two provide the double backbone of the book's narrative: Hasan Nuhanovic, a Bosnian muslim whose determination to discover the fate of his family lost at Srebrenica sees him mature over the years from a gangling youth to a man with the authority to testify before Congress; and Witness JJ, a Tutsi woman of staggering courage who overcomes her modesty and the dictates of her culture to testify about the rapes that are classified as war crimes.
