4.5

This is more than a book. I am not the same person after reading it.  I will have to forget this, but will I be able to? To this day, only a tiny fraction of rape camp soldiers had to answer for their crimes. They are still among us: they are fathers and brothers, grandfathers and uncles and work colleagues.
