Truth and Indignation by Ronald Niezen

Thoughtful, provocative, and uncompromising in the need to tell the truth as he sees it, Niezen offers an important contribution to understanding truth and reconciliation processes in general, an the Canadian experience in particular.
"..a tremendous step forward from a scholarly human rights culture that has been overly awed by the truth commission phenomenon and far too slow in probing beneath the surfaces." -- Human Rights Quarterly
"Niezen opts for a clinical remove from the moral content of the story, in order to observe the TRC more critically. There was an easier book to write, but Truth and Indignation is more nuanced, more challenging, and as a result more stimulating." -- Literary Review of Canada
