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 ER -
