In the Moment of Greatest Calamity: Terrorism, Grief, and a Victim's Quest for Justice
Winner of the 2007 Herbert Jacob Book Prize, Law and Society Association"Susan Hirsch has turned [her] experience into a powerful book, one fully engaged with her experience of grief and loss but equally so with analysis of these questions of justice, and with how the pursuit of justice interacted with her status as a victim, a survivor, a widow, an anthropologist."--Daily Kos"In the Moment of Greatest Calamitystands as by far the most thorough examination of the embassy bombings and the subsequent trial of four of the perpetrators. An American anthropologist with long personal and professional involvement in Kenya and Tanzania, Hirsch is uniquely equipped to bridge the divide separating her American readers from her East African subject matter."--Kevin J. Kelley,The East African
