Sad but informative book on the Rwandan genocide. The personal stories are heartrending, but Gourevitch does a good job of presenting them without being a trauma voyeur. He also provides plenty of succinct, easy to follow explanations of the roots of the genocide, as well as the local and regional politics that came into play before and after the 1994 genocide. Gourevitch is very unforgiving of western opinions and non intervention and I really appreciated his discussion of these topics, which he engaged in without softening the blow for white/western feelings.

This book contains descriptions of the genocide in Rwanda from survivors and witnesses. It does not gloss over the horror.laurabarrett's review
