The Rwanda Crisis by Grard Prunier
Offers a historical perspective that Western readers need to understand how and why the brutal massacres of 800,000 Rwandese came to pass. This book demonstrates how the struggle for cultural dominance and subjugation among the Hutu and Tutsi - the central players in the massacres - was exploited by racially obsessed Europeans.
Gerard Prunier's new history of the Rwandan genocide casts this sad moment into the black and white relief of print and commits to memory the struggle of those Rwandans who fell victim to the atrocities of last year's tragedyHis book is a fitting tribute to those who lost their lives, and an important contribution to the work of understanding the complexities of modern conflict.
