Subtle, Frightening, and Wise,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Justice on the Grass: Three Rwandan Journalists, Their Trial for War Crimes and a Nation's Quest for Redemption (Hardcover)
This is a highly nuanced book that deals with all the complexities of an impossible situation. The characters are almost Shakepearean, some of them good, some of them foolish, some of them manipulative, some of them darkly evil. The situation is extraordinary. Temple-Raston has a wonderful ear and is able to let people tell their own stories, and make their own judgments. This is elegant, brilliant journalism, written with great moral clarity but without ever moralizing.

Hatemongers,
This review is from: Justice on the Grass: Three Rwandan Journalists, Their Trial for War Crimes and a Nation's Quest for Redemption (Hardcover)
This was an excellent book. The parallels between the actions of hatemongers in Uganda, and that of hatemongers in the U.S.A. is striking, even with the use of pejoratives to demonize certain groups. We now have 932 hate groups here, with talk-show hosts inflaming them 24/7. The goal of most of these hate groups is the violent overthrow of the government. Americans should read this book to get a glimpse of what may be in store for us, if the hatemongers continue their campaign.
