This review is from: Leave None to Tell the Story: Genocide in Rwanda (Paperback)
This is the most extensive and authoritative account of the Rwandan genocide yet published. Drawing from Rwandan government documents and other official and unofficial sources, the principal author, Alison Des Forges, and her collaborators, have done a remarkable job pulling together the complex and disparate strands of this story. For interpretation and discussion of the meaning of the Rwandan genocide - which this volume largely eschews - interested readers are referred to the works of such expert scholars as Rene Lemarchand, Gerard Prunier, Catharine Newbury, and Jean-Pierre Chretien.

This review is from: Leave None to Tell the Story: Genocide in Rwanda (Paperback)
by far the most comprehensive history of the Rwandan conflict. A long, mind-numbing read, but well worth it.
