From the Dust Jacket: "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 the safe confines of Berkeley, California, was one of sixteen scientists chosen by the UN International Criminal Tribunal to go to Rwanda to unearth the physical evidence of genocide and crimes against humanity. THE BONE WOMAN is Koff's riveting, deeply personal account of that mission and the six subsequent missions she undertook -- to Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo -- on behalf of the UN." Keywords: Genocide. First Edition (so stated). Hard Cover. Near Fine condition/Fine dust jacket. 8vo. x, 275pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well.
