Sommario/riassunto

"Justice in a Time of War is a translation from the French of the first complete, behind-the-scenes story of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, from its proposal by Balkan journalist Mirko Klarin through recent developments in the first trial of its ultimate quarry, Slobodan Milosevic. It is also a meditation on the conflicting intersection of law and politics in achieving justice and peace."--Jacket
