Rezensionen

'... Lutz and Reiger have put together a rich and compelling examination of a topic whose importance will continue to grow, particularly as countries in North Africa are in the midst of democratic revolutions in which former dictators are being toppled and the word 'justice' is on everyone's minds.' Alison Smith, International Journal of Transitional Justice
