Description
The war that broke out in the former Yugoslavia at the end of the twentieth century unleashed unspeakable acts of violence committed against defenseless civilians, including a grizzly mass murder at an Ov�cara pig farm in 1991. An international tribunal was set up to try the perpetrators of crimes such as this, and one of the accused was Slavko Dokmanovi�c, who at the time was the mayor of a local town. Vladim�ir Dzuro, a criminal detective from Prague, was one of the investigators charged with discovering what happened on that horrific night at Ov�cara. The story Dzuro presents here, drawn from his daily notes, is devastating. It was a time of brutal torture, random killings, and the disappearance of innocent people. In addition to the story of the pursuit and arrest of Dokmanovi�c, The Investigator provides a realistic picture of the war crime investigations that led to the successful prosecution of a number of war criminals.
