I didn't fully agree with either side, and some of the essays were better than others, but there were some interesting points raised. It's too bad they couldn't update it more to include The Force Awakens
War is ugly, dehumanizing, cruel, and destructive in more than one sense. We know that terrible things will happen during war, but there are some acts that are so horrible that society calls for justice and revenge. After World War II, the Allies decided to put as many of the surviving Nazi high command as they could capture on trial for their crimes against humanity. Decades later, international tribunals would seek to indict, try, and sentence war criminals from the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Sudan. The real story of international justice is incredibly complex and, at times, distinctly unjust. In Hiding in Plain Sight: The Pursuit of War Criminals from Nuremburg to the War on Terror, authors Eric Stover, Victor Peskin, and K. Alexa Koenig explain how the path of justice never runs smoothly...
Read the rest of my review at A Bookish Type. I received a free copy of this book from Edelweiss for review consideration.
I enjoyed the Hari/Caine parts of the story, also the parts involving the man elf Deliann. BUT there is a hell of a lot of esoteric bullshit in this 738 page book which required some extensive skimming (perhaps I'm just shallow?) As Caine would say: '..yadda, yadda, yadda, horseshit.'
Wow, this was excellent, a rip-roaring epic fantasy with a brilliant premise. Hari Michaelson is an actor in the real world sent to the magical world of Ankhana. As Caine, he acts out adventures for the entertainment of the elite in their simichairs back on Earth. Why, WHY is this not a screenplay?
