But it does make for a harrowing read sometimes. It is written in a very engaging and clear manner, making it accessible even to readers who are not particularly well-versed in the world of international criminal justice. It offers a good overview of the dynamics which led to the creation of the court and of the trial process itself. ![]() Written by a journalist with extensive knowledge and experience of Chad, the book recounts the landmark trial of former Chadian President Hissene Habre before a special court created by the African Union, the Extraordinary African Chambers. ![]() For me, this is a 3 and a half star read. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "Serena, why don't we just forget the bet this time?

"Oh, no? Look, friend, we both know he's virtually pickled after years of drinking, but he was a crackerjack investigative reporter once upon a time, and some of the old instincts might still be there." "He'll never guess what I'm after," Serena retorted confidently. And if he realizes you're just after information, next week's column will make you look like the whore of Babylon." There's no way he'll dance with you, let alone spill the beans about the grant. Serena, Jeremy Kane uses his column to trash anybody he hates, and since that model broke up with him, he hates every woman still alive and breathing. Jane Riley, an attractive and vivacious brunet, giggled, but then suddenly looked nervous. It was one of many bets between the two young women since they had met in high school years before, lighthearted and, as usual, challenging Serena's uncanny ability to get information, or anything else she wanted, from a man. ![]() Serena Smyth lifted an eyebrow at her friend, her catlike green eyes alight with amusement. ![]() ![]() → Here is a free video on how to teach your child to read. ![]() → If your child needs a reading head start, click here! → Free Teaching Guide Sight Wordlist (Kindergarten to 3rd Grade).
