Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Non-Fiction 'A devastating indictment' SUNDAY TIMES 'An important book, a superb piece of reporting' OBSERVER 'With great narrative verve, and a sober and subtle intelligence, she carries us deep behind the scenes of history-in-the-making' PHILIP GOUREVITCH Why do leaders who vow 'never again' repeatedly fail to prevent genocide?

To respond to the unique opportunities of each client and site, Bates Masi + Architects has developed an approach, rather than a devotion to a particular style.

Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant.
