Written by a journalist with a deep and broad knowledge of Chad, Hicks’s book offers a vivid and compelling account of the long road to bring Hissène Habré to trial and brilliantly shows its significance both for Chad and international justice* Marielle Debos, author of Living by the Gun in Chad *
This is a story that had to be told, of hell on earth and humanity’s determination to fight back. A wonderful account of a campaign that achieved justice after 25 years. * Mike Dottridge, former head of Amnesty International’s Africa Research Unit *
Shows the profound and wide-ranging impact of Habré’s prosecution. Hicks's interviews with Chadian victims are incredibly moving. At the same time, she offers essential insights into whether the Extraordinary African Chambers represent a viable African alternative to the International Criminal Court. * Phil Clark, SOAS, University of London *
