Superb reference

This three-volume collection is an invaluable reference for anyone researching the ethical dilemmas newly democratized regimes confront when dealing with their nations' checkered pasts. Volume One provides a variety of theoretical essays, Volume Two gives case studies of more than 20 regime transitions, and Volume Three provides selected translated primary documents from the countries detailed in Volume 2. Although the case studies can occasionally be difficult to follow, on the whole this book is an excellent starting point for researchers and students examining the ethics of regime transition.
