Description
"The courage of strangers is the story of how Laber went from working as a part-time cookbook editor to founding and becoming executive director of Human Rights Watch; in which capacity she invented a new form of advocacy; that of the human rights investigator, a combination of journalist and scholar with a passionate political conviction. Between the early 1970s and the end of the century Ms. Laber met and worked with some of the great political activists and dissidents of the age, and was eyewitness to the unexpected unraveling of what we once called the Communist Empire"--Cover.
