Digging for the Disappeared - (Stanford Studies in Human Rights) by Adam Rosenblatt

Digging for the Disappeared is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on the little-understood field of forensic investigation in post-conflict nations.

Through interviews with key players in the field, Rosenblatt provides a comprehensive analysis of the ethical, political, and historical foundations of this rapidly growing form of human rights work.

The book offers a new way to value the work of forensic experts at mass graves, extending human rights scholarship into the realm of the dead.

With a focus on the needs of war crimes tribunals, transitional governments, and the families of the missing, Digging for the Disappeared provides a rigorous analysis of the care of the dead in post-conflict nations.

This thought-provoking book is essential reading for anyone interested in human rights, forensic science, and the pursuit of justice in the face of atrocity.
