John Cencich and his investigative team conducted the interviews and gathered the evidence, which enabled them to track down, and bring to justice, the architects of one of the most horrifying episodes in the history of humanity. This book will prove to be an enormously valuable resource for historians, teachers of European history, and criminal justice professionals.”—ROY HAZELWOOD, author of Dark Dreams and The Evil That Men Do

“It was an honor to be part of such a unique group of international investigators and a significant part of history.

—BRENT PFUNDHELLER, former senior war crimes investigator, United Nations ICTY
