Summary:
A brave, memorable first-hand account of the Rwandan genocide by a man almost actually haunted from the deceased and by the spectre of his mission’s failure. Marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the horrific event, this edition includes a new take note from Roméo Dallaire.
Portion in Rwanda in 1993, LGen. Roméo Dallaire and his small peacekeeping force found themselves abandoned by the UN in a vortex of civil battle and genocide. With meagre resources to stem the killing, General Dallaire was see to the murder of 800,000 Rwandans in a hundred days, and came back home broken, disillusioned and suicidal. Shake Hands using the Devil can be his go back to Rwanda: a searing book that’s both an eyewitness account of the failing of humanity to avoid the genocide, as well as the tale of General Dallaire’s very own struggle to find a measure of serenity, reconciliation and hope.
