Unspeakable truths

by Priscilla B. Hayner

"Drawing from close to five hundred interviews in over a dozen countries, Unspeakable Truths takes a critical look at the world's truth commissions, challenging many common assumptions about these bodies and their impact. As she explores the inner workings of these commissions, Hayner uncovers heartwrenching stories about the pain, as well as the enormous power, of bringing past atrocities to light. For those concerned with the fate of democracy and freedom on the international stage, Unspeakable Truths is essential reading."--BOOK JACKET.
