While the specificities of individual wars vary, they share a
ubiquitous aftermath: the task of finding and identifying the
"disappeared." The Bosnian war of the early 1990s that destroyed
the sovereign state of Yugoslavia is no exception. In Working in
the Killing Fields: Forensic Science in Bosnia, Howard Ball focuses
on the recent development of forensic science technology and on the
work of forensic professionals in Bosnia. The book offers a
distinctive approach to war and its aftermath because it balances
examination of complex features of new scientific forensic
technology with insights into the lives of the men and women from
around the globe who are tasked with finding and excavating bodies
and conducting pathological examinations, along with explaining the
cause of death to both international court criminal prosecutors and
surviving families of the victims. Ball considers the physical
dangers these professionals regularly confront while performing
their site excavations, as well as the emotional pain, including
PTSD, they contend with during their time in Bosnia and after they
leave the killing fields.
