Description: "How could survivors of the Burma Road, the Siberian Gulag, or Nazi atrocities forgive those who harmed them? How can representatives of entire peoples - Australian Aborigines, African-Americans, black South Africans - be reconciled with whites who exploited them? And how can the offenders find the grace to apologize? Michael Henderson writes about dozens of people of many nations and faiths who have been able to break the chain of hate and the hold of history."--BOOK JACKET.
