Product description

Review

“One of the year’s, if not the decade’s, most important events in Canadian publishing.”
The Vancouver Sun

“Almost certainly the most important book published in Canada this year.”
The Globe and Mail

“A book of astonishing power.... Here was a man who screamed into the void. No one listened, no one cared, no one heard. But he never stopped screaming. He valued every human life. He wept for every human loss. He never gave up.”
—Stephen Lewis, The Walrus

“This is a book to read — to understand what genocide means, to reflect on the failure of ‘humanity,’ and to be inspired by the courage of the few in the face of genocidal horror and international indifference.”
—Alison Des Forges, The Gazette (Montreal)

“On the enormously important issue of Third World development and the obligation of the Western world to assist the dispossessed, [the book] is a powerful cri de coeur for the powerless.”
Toronto Star

“Read this book and rediscover, if you have lost it, your capacity for moral outrage.”
Winnipeg Free Press
