Here's a good book on Rwanda....We Wish To Inform You That We Will Be Killed With Our Families Tomorrow by Philip GourevitchA very sad book indeed because the killings in Rwanda could have been prevented and stopped very easily.This is one thing I have always been very critical of Bill Clinton for (though the Republican controlled Congress let him know that they would refuse any US military intervention - another terrible spectre that arose because of the US's role in Somalia in 1993). There have been several very good documentaries on Rwanda and one is coming out in the new future on the Canadian General of the UN back then. Now, this is a person with true character, courage and integrity. He did his best but was surrounded by a uncaring world.
