Name:	Shake Hands With the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda
Product Code:	0786715103
Description:	By LT. Gen. Roméo Dallaire
Product Detail:	Serving in Rwanda during 1993-94 as UN force Commander, Lt. Gen. Romeo Dallaire and his small peacekeeping force found themselves abandoned by the world’s major powers in a vortex of civil war and genocide. With meager resources to stem the killing, General Dallaire managed to rescue thousands, but his call for more support was unavailing, as he witnessed the murder of 800,000 Rwandans in 100 days. He returned home to Canada broken, disillusioned, and suicidal. Shake Hands with the Devil is his gift to those he could not save: a searing book that is both an eyewitness account of the failure of humanity to stop the genocide, and General Dallaire’s own struggle to find a measure of peace, reconciliation, and hope. “A powerful cri de coeur for the powerless, and a gut-wrenching description of what really happened during those awful months ten years ago” –Toronto Star
