Reviews

"There are countless untold stories of witness after genocide. Few can summon the stamina to tell them. What is it like to work in a refugee camp of 100,000 traumatized people? What does it mean to try to make sense of such human tragedy thirty years later? Elaine Harvey's Encounters on the Front Line is the compelling answer to these questions, her story well and passionately told. To read this book is also to witness to our times." -- Kim Echlin author of The Disappeared, a Giller Prize finalist
