Stuart Rees is Professor Emeritus at the University of Sydney and a human rights activist in several countries. He is regarded as one of Australia's most consistent campaigners for justice.
Cruelty or Humanity is of a work motivated by deep compassion. Rees never loses sight of the human element of human rights violations, nor does he ever seem numbed to the pain he so carefully documents. The book stands as a testament to the humanity he urges us to embrace. Australian Outlook In his evocative and unflinching study, Stuart Rees shows us how 'national interest' rhetoric often enables outrages upon human dignity. He reminds us not to abandon the victims of state power or to play games with their fate. Clinton Fernandes, University of New South Wales Stuart Rees' Cruelty or Humanity should be read and re-read by everyone and be in every personal, local, school, university, state and national library.

I loved this book. Punam Yadav, University College London Stuart Rees's deeply humane and moral book documents and analyses historical state-sanctioned, global violence and cruelty, while quoting international poems offering compassionate voices of humanity.
