A book you need to read - Rated
I had just arrived back from Rwanda and visited the Kilgali Memorial Museum. I needed to know more so having read others reviews decided to buy this book. It was a good choice, this book helped me to understand the history surrounding the events that led to the Genocide. I also found it deeply moving and know it will stay with me for a lifetime.
Awesome - Rated
Two things stand out from Gourevitch's excellent analysis of Rwanda's turmoils - two things which are quite chilling. One, when he talks about why the international community did nothing to halt the genocide, he refers to Rwanda's strategic importance as being no more important than that of Mars, then corrects himself to say that Mars is actually of greater significance in the mind of Bill Clinton. Two, he tells of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, himself a black African, visiting Rwanda after the genocide and chiding his audience for allowing themselves to be thought of as "stupid blacks" by the world, such was the senselessness of the slaughter - and in doing so, Tutu implies that this is in fact his own view. Gourevitch presents a powerful picture of what happened, which gives us interesting food for thought on how peoples can and should live together - and what the consequences are if they do not.
Exellent, comprehensive, informative - Rated
This book book provides a very comprehensive background to the genocides in Rwanda. I am not someone who was familiar with the historical and political underpinnings of the killings,, nor of African political history. I now feel that I have the foundation for building a meaningful understanding. I highly recommend this book. It is reivetting and informative. As an Amerian lawyer, it helped me gain an insight into the legal and political underpinings of Rwanda's recent history, and America's complicity and the West's complicity in the genocide.
Important and admirable. - Rated
One of the darkest episodes of the twentieth century, which has been largely ignored or mis-reported in the West. Philip Gourevitch does much to redress this in a sensitive and extremely well-written book.
