Description:

In the Spring of 1994, Rwanda was the scene of the first acts since World War II to be legally defined as genocide.Two years later, Clea Koff, a twenty-three-year-old forensic anthropologist analyzing prehistoric skeletons in California, was one of sixteen scientists chosen by the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal to go to Rwanda to unearth physical evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity.The Bone Woman is Koff's riveting, intimate account of that mission and six subsequent missions she undertook to Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo on behalf of the UN. It is, ultimately, a story filled with hope, humanity, and justice."Chilling but mesmerizing...Koff's account is neither histrionic nor preachy; it's clear-eyed, hard-headed and straightforward...This book works so well, is so vivid and so moving, because Koff surrounds the dead bodies with living stories." -Bookpage, US"Though stalwartly non-academic, this book is a must-read for students of forensic science, political science, international law and other disciplines that study or directly contribute to human rights investigations." -The Globe and Mail, Canada"...The most impressive book about politics that I read this year, Clea Koff'sThe Bone Woman: Among the Dead in Rwanda, Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo. Moving from one mass grave to the next, she uncovers what really happened."- Clive James in theTimesLiterary Supplement, UK"It may be that this is the ultimate memoir of the post-Cold War decade...a hugely important book." -The Telegraph, UKAN INTERNATIONAL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2004 Clive James in The Times Literary Supplement, 3 DecemberBOOK OF THE YEAR, 2004Jenny Crwys-Williams, Radio 702, 9 December - PhotoUNITED STATES - Random House The Bone Woman, 2004CANADA - Knopf Vintage PaperbackThe Bone Woman, 2004FRANCE - Editions Heloise d'OrmessonLa Memoire des os, 2005GERMANY - Piper / MalikDie Knochenfrau, 2004 AUSTRALIA - Hodder Headline Australia Hachette Livres Australia PaperbackThe Bone Woman, 2004 (and in New Zealand)The Bone Woman, 2004 (and in The Commonwealth, excl.
