"A compelling read." Richard J. Goldstone, former Chief Prosecutor
of the UN tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda "A very
important contribution." Princeton N. Lyman, Council on Foreign
Relations "A powerful reminder that dealing with the legacy of
wartime atrocities is not simply a matter of bringing perpetrators
to justice. It also means overcoming the divisions within the
society and healing the victims." Marina Ottaway, Senior Associate,
Democracy and Rule of Law Project, Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace In Amnesty after Atrocity? veteran journalist
Helena Cobban examines the effectiveness of different ways of
dealing with the aftermath of genocide and violence committed
during intergroup conflicts. She traveled to Rwanda, Mozambique,
and South Africa to assess the various ways those nations tried to
come to grips with their violent past: from war crimes trials to
truth commissions to outright amnesties for perpetrators. She
discovered that in terms of both moving forward and satisfying the
needs of survivors, war crimes trials are not the most effective
path. This book provides historical context and includes interviews
with a cross-section of people: community leaders, victims,
policymakers, teachers, rights activists, and even some former
abusers. These first-person accounts create a rich, readable text,
and Cobban's overall conclusions will surprise many readers in the
West.
