I cannot recommend highly enough this book, it’s a page Turner if you’re at all interested in recent history. It is as thorough as I’ve known any book in putting across information, but, my only criticism, is some bias by the author in his use of highly emotional words in contexts where he is ‘guessing’ the thought patterns of individuals in their actions. BUT, there is no taking away the absolute horror and terror felt by decent Rwandans during that terrible time. Please read it and empathise with an African. By the way, I’m a white Englishman.
At first glance this seems like a pretty hefty volume with its 726 pages, but it’s not an academic book. It reads more like a real crime ‘whodunit’, taking the reader through the fascinating story of the country after independence in 1962 up to the present day.
I’m sure there are those who will find this book uncomfortable to read, not least those accused of the crimes. The publication of this research gives a perfect case study for anyone wanting to learn lessons about the fragile nature of those institutions that a democratic western society takes for granted.
Wicked schemes succeed when good people decide not to challenge appalling behaviour - this is called Apathy. This book invites much reflection on the attitudes that are needed to prevent divisive and polarised leadership dominating society at every level: a leadership which if left unchallenged could re-programme the moral and ethical thinking of its own people.
