Reviews
'This book poses incisive and provocative questions, providing critical insights to transitional justice literature. Its analysis of the various dynamics generated when dealing with the problem of enforced disappearances in different countries enriches this fascinating field by provinding systematic comparisons and analytic sophistication.' -- Paloma Aguilar Fernandez, UNED, Madrid, Spain 'At a time when scholars and policy makers continue to grapple with the challenges of how best to deal with the troublesome legacies of past conflict, Iosif Kovras' exploration of the silences surrounding the missingpeople is particularly timely and welcome. Kovras systematically identifies the economic, legal, political and ideological factors contributing to support for or opposition to truth recovery. This book will be of immense value not only to scholars in the field, but to politicians, lawyers and policy makers, and those who are interested or involved in transitional justice and peacemaking.'-- Marie Breen-Smyth, University of Surrey, UK
