Human remains and identification will appeal to readers interested in understanding this crucial phase of mass violence's aftermath, such as researchers in history, anthropology, sociology, forensic science, law, politics and modern warfare..

However, are these exhumations always made for legitimate reasons? And what can we learn about societies from the way in which they deal with this consequence
