As an experienced forensic pathologist, Malcolm Dodd thought he was well hardened to almost any gruesome situation he might confront. But when he got to East Timor they told him he would have to "harden up". They were right.
'Justice for the Dead' takes us on a journey behind the scenes of some of the most brutal and tragic events of modern history. In this compelling personal account, Malcolm Dodd – a forensic pathologist at the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine – describes his extraordinary contribution to the international human rights efforts in some of the most remote locations of the world. Working calmly and steadily through the horrific aftermath of violence in East Timor, mass graves in Kosovo and the jungles of the Solomon Islands, Malcolm applies his forensic expertise to help bring justice and dignity to the dead, and to the loved ones left behind.
Working in extreme conditions, he confronts daily the chilling evidence of man's inhumanity on an unimaginable scale. A veteran of twelve overseas missions to date, Malcolm's work gives the previously nameless dead an identity and documents the evidence that will bring the perpetrators of war crimes and human rights abuses to justice.
