Praise for this book
Tell It to the World is a haunting and poignant and remarkable book. To read it is to gain some greater understanding of humanity.
Tell It to the World is a difficult read, but a necessary one, given that, to paraphrase Life magazine's rationale for publishing Robert Capa's graphic 1930s Spanish Civil War photographs, the dead need to be spoken about so that they did not die in vain.
With the clarity and precision honed through the writing of countless legal briefs, Behar makes his case by leading us from the operations of the ICTY, the trial records of massacres that took place in Kosovo in 1999 and the efforts made to hide the bodies to a profound meditation on the implications of "justice."
