This title in other formats:The Key to My Neighbor's House: Seeking Justice in Bosnia and Rwandaby Elizabeth Neuffer
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Interviewing war criminals and their victims,Neuffer explains,through the voices of people she follows over the course of a decade,how genocide erodes a nation's social and political environment.Her characters' stories and their competing notions of justice-from searching for the bodies of loved ones,to demanding war crime trials,to seeking bloody revenge-convinces readers that crimes against humanity cannot be resolved by simple talk of forgiveness,or through the more common recourse to forgetfulness. Review:"[B]ecause she takes nothing for granted, and is so thorough a narrator, [Neuffer's] study is likely to have a long shelf life and be useful to readers for many years....A tremendously valuable comparative study, with all its shameful conclusions in place." Kirkus Reviews Review:"No reporter has come close to matching Elizabeth Neuffer's stories of genocidal killers and rapists, their victims, and the fledgling effort to see international justice prevail." Tom Gjelten, National Public Radio correspondent and author of Sarajevo Daily: A City and Its Newspaper Under Siege Review:"Elizabeth Neuffer has taken on a subject of monumental importance. Her book is filled with the poignant personal stories of ordinary people who suffered extraordinary crimes on our watch at the end of the twentieth century. Their heroic efforts to confront their tormentors and search for justice should prick our collective conscience." Christiane Amanpour, Chief International Correspondent, CNN Review:"As the story moves from the mass grave to the courtroom, the reader is left not with drama, but, almost incredibly, a certain feeling of triumph. Superbly researched and written." Roy Gutman, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for Newsday Review:"It's a terrible thing to want justice. Very few besides the victims think it is necessary or cost effective....[Neuffer's] book will convince you that we're doomed if we don't seek justice." Leslie Gelb, President of the Council on Foreign Relations and former editorial page editor of The New York Times Review:"By recounting the individual stories of tribunal participants, Elizabeth Neuffer ensures that we do not forget the victims at the heart of these tribunals, and illustrates how the tribunal process itself can bring important healing to individuals." Senator Christopher J. Todd, member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Synopsis:From her unique vantage as a reporter directly covering the reality of genocide in Bosnia and Rwanda, award-winning journalist Neuffer tells the compelling story of two parallel journeys toward justice in each country. 5 maps.
