Description:

Though ordered by a minority of state functionaries, the Rwandan genocide of 1994 was performed by hundreds of thousands of ordinary citizens, including judges, human rights activists, doctors, nurses, priests, and even friends and spouses of the victims. This book explores the nature and underlying causes of the massacre.
