Reviews

"A valuable book for students of international law, sociology and psychology, for media people and those in government, and informative for everyone else."

"The furious temper of the debate about gacaca and other matters of reconciliation is evident in Phil Clark and Zachary Kaufman's book, a singular attempt to bring together conflicting points of view....  Clark and Kaufman, practitioners and scholars of international law who are well versed in Rwandan affairs, are rare among Western academics and lawyers in acknowledging the full range of Rwanda's difficulties."

“Perhaps the most enduring contribution [of this book] . . . is to underline precisely how complex, misunderstood and difficult to achieve are all the words in the sub-title: transitional justice, post-conflict reconstruction and reconciliation.”

‘This book should be labelled “for the mature individual only”. But for that mature individual it is of extreme interest. It shows, far from any Manichean stereotyping, the many facets of having to try to live in an impossibly complex social and human situation. Highly recommended.’
