The World's Most Wanted Fugitives: Bringing War Criminals to Justice

A conversation with Eric Stover, Victor Peskin, and Alexa Koenig, co-authors of "Hiding in Plain Sight: The Pursuit of War Criminals from Nuremberg to the War on Terror" at the Bay Area Book Festival. Moderated by The Center for Investigative Reporting's Michael Montgomery.

If you read mysteries, history, or current affairs, or care about justice, this panel is a must-see. The authors, most of them based at Berkeley Law's renowned Human Rights Center, take readers on a riveting journey—and a true one—in pursuit of Nazi war criminals, the perpetrators in the Balkan and Rwandan genocides, and more, up to the establishment of the International Criminal Court and America’s pursuit of suspected terrorists in the aftermath of 9/11. It is a story fraught with broken promises, backroom politics, ethical dilemmas, and daring escapades—all in the name of international justice and human rights.

Why does Alexa Koenig end her sentences with questions. Doesn't she stand behind her assertions!
