5.0

This book is an incredible emotionally difficult but necessary read. Especiall in a time period where there are eerie genocida parallel currently happening to the Palestinian people in Gaza.

This books really explores and explains the history of the Rwandan Genocide and the events and circumstances that lead up to it so we as reader can under that this was systematic elimination of an entire group of people not mass tribal hysteria.

This was done deliberately and tactically. 

We need to learn this so we can take not of how those same tactics are being used yet while the western world yet again turns a blind eye.

This writing does an incredible job of encapsulation the world that is left after the Genocide and the state of its survivors. He does shy away from the messiness, the horror, or the cruelty.

This book is a necessary read for all those who care about stopping Genocide.
