In this fastpaced expose, Reed Brody, a former investigator with Human Rights Watch, describes how he and his international team of investigators and torture survivors did just that. Brody tells how he and his team unearthed evidence and witnesses, petitioned courts and skeptical governments, and lobbied public opinion to bring Hissene Habre, the former dictator of Chad to justice. Habre, whose violent ascent to power was engineered by the U.S. government, had for eight years jailed, tortured and murdered tens of thousands of people in a desperately poor country he held captive to his cruel and uncompromising ambition. This story sounds the alarm about the tragic consequences of such a policy. Furthermore, the Habre case shows there is nothing inevitable about brutal tyrants going unpunished for their crimes, even when they have previously had powerful allies in the United States and Europe. With enough persistence, cunning, and imagination, survivors and their supporters can sometimes bring even the worst criminals to justice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Habre, Hissein $x Trials, litigation, etc. 650 0 $a Trials (Crimes against humanity) $z Senegal. 650 0 $a Trials (Torture) $z Senegal. 650 0 $a Human rights $z Chad. 650 0 $a Detention of persons $z Chad. 650 0 $a Torture $z Chad. 650 0 $a Crimes against humanity $z Chad. 651 0 $a Chad $x Politics and government $y 1960-1990. 650 6 $a Proces (Crimes contre l'humanite) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0494069 $z Senegal. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0494069 650 6 $a Droits de l'homme (Droit international) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0441436 $z Tchad. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0441436 650 6 $a Crimes contre l'humanite $0 (CaQQLa)201-0441436 $z Tchad. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0441436 651 6 $a Tchad $x Politique et gouvernement $y 1960-1990. $0 (CaQQLa)000274728 650 6 $a Proces (Torture) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0494069 $z Senegal. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0494069 650 7 $a HISTORY / Africa / General. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Habre, Hissein. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00152347 650 7 $a Crimes against humanity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883142 650 7 $a Detention of persons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00891620 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Torture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01152956 650 7 $a Trials. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156290 650 7 $a Trials (Crimes against humanity) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156320 650 7 $a Trials (Torture) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156417 651 7 $a Chad. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208478 651 7 $a Senegal. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204328 648 7 $a 1960-1990 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Brody, Reed. $t To catch a dictator $d New York : Columbia University Press, [2022] $z 9780231554633 $w (DLC) 2022009150 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240717013645.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4ADD1D60851711EEB4A9908744ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
