A powerful, deeply personal account of a forensic anthropologist's work to uncover the horrors of genocide.

Among the Dead in Rwanda, Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo. In 1966, Clea Koff, a 23 year old graduate student was sent to Rwanda by the UN to work with a small team exhuming victims of the genocide. 'The Bone Woman' is a mesmerising account of her four years of gruelling investigations into these, and other murderous events - events which transformed her from an idealistic student to a war crimes veteran.
