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.
