Hiding in Plain Sight: The Pursuit of War Criminals from Nuremberg to the War on Terror Hardcover - 2016
by Eric Stover; Victor Peskin; Alexa Koenig
From the rear cover
"There is no comparable effort to pull together so much material about the evolution of international justice, from Nuremberg to the ad hoc tribunals to the ICC, including contemporary challenges from the 'war on terror.' Hiding in Plain Sight is an excellent introduction to the field for students and the general public."--Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch
"Hiding in Plain Sight is destined to be an essential work in the field of human rights for years to come. I admire the way the authors' reach extends back in history--and includes citizen activists as well as courts and tribunals. Their lively writing ensures that the book can be read by all of us, not just legal professionals."--Adam Hochschild, author of To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914-1918 "Hiding in Plain Sight is a fast-paced, well-written account of the pursuit of war criminals. Many have not only committed crimes on a large scale, but have been protected by powerful forces, including governments. This book is essential reading for those who wish to see that those who are responsible for atrocities are brought to justice."--Aryeh Neier, President Emeritus of the Open Society Foundations and cofounder of Human Rights Watch "This is an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the history and importance of pursuing war crimes trials against the men and women who have violated international law. Hiding in Plain Sight, revolving around the essential task of finding war criminals and making them stand trial, is a wonderfully comprehensive and clearly worded study that everyone should read. It serves as a resource treasure for information about the major war criminals and war crimes of our era. It also serves as a major contribution to understanding where and how the pursuit of justice can go wrong, especially in relation to the American 'extraordinary rendition' program after 9/11. If you want to understand the war criminals of modern times and the dogged pursuit of justice for them, this is the only book you need to read, and you must read it."--Peter Maass, author of Love Thy Neighbor: The Story of War "One of the world's most daunting challenges is securing the arrest of war crimes suspects, especially when they are high-level civilian or military leaders. Hiding in Plain Sight deals a much-needed blow to impunity by revealing how governments and international institutions have sometimes succeeded--but more often failed--to live up to their legal obligations to bring war criminals to justice. Built on scores of interviews with jurists, investigators, and activists from the front lines of international criminal law, this thoroughly researched book is both extremely timely and long overdue."--Navi Pillay, former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and former President of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda "The cycle of impunity for atrocity crimes is closing slowly but surely. This book documents how that steady progress has been achieved, but also how hard it was and how difficult it is to maintain its momentum. Telling a complex story in a highly readable way, the authors make their own significant contribution to accountability and justice for human rights crimes. The torturer still runs, but he can no longer hide." --Juan Mendez, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture "A riveting modern history, on the trail of international justice in the face of politics and self-interest, Hiding in Plain Sight is a must-read for anyone who wants to know from whence we have come and the obstacles that will fill the road that lies ahead."--Philippe Sands, author of Torture Team: Uncovering War Crimes in the Land of the FreeDetails
