It describes how Goldstone, working as a judge in apartheid South Africa, helped to undermine this unjust system and later, at Nelson Mandela’s request, led a commission that investigated cases of racial violence and intimidation. It also considers the international renown he received as the chief United Nations prosecutor for war crimes committed in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, the first tribunals to try political and military leaders on charges of genocide. Finally, it explores how Goldstone became a controversial figure in the wake of the Jewish jurist’s powerful, but flawed, investigation of Israel for alleged war crimes in Gaza.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Richard Goldstone’s dramatic life story reveals that even in a world rife with prejudice, nationalism, and contempt for human rights, one courageous man can advance the cause of justice.  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e Prologue          Icon and Pariah\u003cbr\u003e 1          Divisions                      \u003cbr\u003e 2          The Striver                 \u003cbr\u003e 3          Cracks in the Wall\u003cbr\u003e 4          Demonstrations            \u003cbr\u003e 5          The Third Force         \u003cbr\u003e 6          In the Footsteps of Robert Jackson                           \u003cbr\u003e 7          A Patchwork Court    \u003cbr\u003e 8          Big Fish, Little Fish               \u003cbr\u003e 9          The Paper Tiger          \u003cbr\u003e 10        The Bargaining Chip\u003cbr\u003e 11        In the Dock    \u003cbr\u003e 12        Rwanda          \u003cbr\u003e 13        Globetrotter\u003cbr\u003e 14        Cast Lead\u003cbr\u003e 15        Gaza\u003cbr\u003e 16        The Goldstone Report\u003cbr\u003e 17        Outrage\u003cbr\u003e 18        Bar Mitzvah\u003cbr\u003e 19        Retraction\u003cbr\u003e Epilogue          Legacies\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Bibliographical Note\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52701995401496,"sku":"9780813599960","price":29.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-trials-of-richard-goldstone-hardback-9780813599960","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
