Shake Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda by Roméo Dallaire
4.0
well this certainly isn't a light read in my books... (no pun intended)- dallaire genuinely remains a shadow of the person he was prior to arriving in kigali rwanda during the '93-'94 racial unrest & following genocide-- as articulated throughout this memoir of his.
i like to say its well-paced, full of disgrace, and detailed with juicy military stats and descriptions of not-so-dazzling un bureaucrats.

"I came to Rwanda as a child of god, I left as a victim of Satan- the difference is, I survived, the others [800,000 Rwandas] did not."
yeah this book can be a tough read.
