  Reviews of Still Counting the Dead: 
  Financial Times, Victory at all Costs ."Ultimately, it is hard to read this book and not agree with the need for a fuller reckoning".
  The Observer, Survivors of the bloody last months of Sri Lanka's civil war tell a story of injustice and horror that we cannot continue to ignore.  "Anybody who has worked on Sri Lanka knows this story has had too little impact. With luck, this book can help change that".
  Feature in the National Post: "It’s essential that the rest of the world open its eyes to the country’s bloody deeds." 
  Review in Monsoon Journal: "An extraordinary book brilliantly crafted on stories from the survivors of the horrible war in Sri Lanka." The Hindu: Untold Stories, Unseen War   ‘.. it seems ironic that journalists often put between the covers of a book information that by definition ought to have made it to news columns or channels’.
  The Financial Express, An Account of Victory from the Perspective of the Defeated .
  The Hindu Chennai, Killings at End Stage of Lanka Civil War Unprecedented .
