Synopsis
A history of the 1994 Rwanda genocide, in which longstanding enmity between the Tutsi and Hutu tribes resulted in the murder of hundreds of thousands of Tutsis and moderate Hutus by the extremist Hutu majority. Gourevitch contrasts horrific eyewitness accounts told by Rwandans with the muted responses of the rest of the world. He also assesses Rwanda's prospects for the future and contemplates what lessons humanity can learn from this hellish chapter in history.

Publisher's Note
Gourevitch's haunting, National Book Critics Circle Award-winning work provides an anatomy of the war in Rwanda, a vivid history of the tragedy's background, and an unforgettable account of its aftermath.

Industry Reviews
"...a major successor to the handful of great correspondents who have risked life and safety to bring dark truths to a world reluctant to know of them. Like the greatest war reporters, he raises the human banner in hell's mouth, the insignia of common sense, of quiet moral authority, of blessed humor. He has the mind of a scholar along with the observative capacity of a good novelist, and he writes like an angel."
Book jacket - Robert Stone

"Gourevitch is a morally serious writer, and he's at his very best when listening to ordinary Rwandans, especially the survivors, and trying to make sense of their stories. These voices haunt the book, and they haunt the reader afterward."
Nation - George Packer (11/16/1998)

"...a rare thing indeed: an informed, heartfelt, thoughtful book about the season of government-sponsored mass killings in Rwanda that have belatedly been acknowledged as genocide....a valuable addition to the literature of witness and a reminder of Primo Levi's sobering words: 'It happened, therefore it can happen again....It can happen everywhere."
Time Out (New York) - Anderson Tepper
