War Crimes: Confronting Atrocity in the Modern World
by David Chuter
" . . . a penetrating and uncomfortable discussion of the relativism of truth in situations in which victim status is a strategic prize and evidence is treated in self-serving ways by governments, the media, nongovernmental organizations, and even academics. Such groups will surely bridle at Chuter's barbed observations . . . but this is a book that they cannot ignore."
