Shake hands with the devil : the failure of humanity in Rwanda

Dallaire, Roméo A. (Author). Beardsley, Brent. (Added Author).

Summary: "Serving in Rwanda in 1993 as a UN Force Commander, Lieutenant General Roméo Dallaire and his small UN peacekeeping force found themselves abandoned by the world's major powers in a vortex of civil war and genocide. With meagre resources to stem the killings, General Dallaire was witness to the murder of 800,000 Rwandans in a hundred days, and returned home broken, disillusioned and suicidal. "Shake Hands with the Devil" is his return to Rwanda: a searing book that is both an eyewitness account of the failure of humanity to stop the genocide, and the story of General Dallaire's own struggle to find a measure of peace, reconciliation and hope."--Provided by the publisher.
