Stay the Hand of Vengeance: The Politics of War Crimes Tribunals.
BRAND NEW. Virgin copy, not yet traded. 8vo. Pp. 424. With 110 pages of notes, index. Wrappers. ~ Third printing, and first paperback printing, with a new afterword. The Nuremberg trials powerfully demonstrated how effective war crimes tribunals can be. But there have been many other important tribunals that have not been as successful, and which have been largely left out of today's debates about international justice. This timely book brings them in, using primary documents to examine the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, World War I, the Armenian genocide, World War II, and the recent wars in the former Yugoslavia. It offers an unprecedented look at the politics behind international war crimes tribunals, combining analysis with investigative reporting and a broad historical perspective.
