Description

Hardcover 323 pages (May 2015) This book explores the complexities of violence and its impact on our understanding of human rights. John Sifton, a human rights lawyer, recounts his experiences documenting abuses committed by various groups around the world, including warlords, terrorist organizations, and government forces. Sifton examines the challenges faced by human rights advocates during the global war on terror, including the use of secret detention centers and harsh treatment of prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also considers the role of technology in enabling violence, such as drone strikes, and the possibility of nonviolent social change.
