| book description |

What does it take to make a dictator answer for his crimes? HissÃ¨ne HabrÃ©, the former despot of Chad, had terrorized, tortured, and killed on a horrific scale over eight bloody years in powerâ€”all while enjoying full American and Western support. After HabrÃ©â€™s overthrow, his victims and their supporters were determined to see him held responsible for his atrocities. Their quest for justice would be long, tense, and unnerving, but they would not back down. To Catch a Dictator is a dramatic insiderâ€™s account of the hunt for HabrÃ© and his momentous trial. The human rights lawyer Reed Brody recounts how he and an international team of investigators, legal experts, and victims worked across three continents to unearth evidence and witnesses, petition courts and skeptical governments, and rally public opinion. They faced many obstacles and constant threats. One of Brodyâ€™s Chadian colleagues was gravely injured in a bomb attack, and another had to seek asylum in the United States. HabrÃ© fought back bitterly, drawing on secret bank accounts and extensive political connections to preserve his life of luxurious exile. Yet Brody and his allies ultimately triumphed: HabrÃ© became the first former head of state to be convicted of crimes against humanity in the courts of another country. This fast-paced, suspenseful book shows that there is nothing inevitable about the impunity that too often protects the powerful and that even the worst tyrants can be brought to justice. The book also features a foreword by Jacqueline MoudeÃ¯na, the lead lawyer for HissÃ¨ne HabrÃ©â€™s victims, who received the Right Livelihood Award (the â€œalternative Nobel Peace Prizeâ€) in 2011.
