Review: Fantastic Introduction to genocide in Rwanda - Recently had to write a massive paper on the Rwandan genocide and this was a fantastic, academic book on the subject. Mamdani who was originally from a neighboring country, knew not only the native language of the Rwandans, but also knew French and English, allowing for his research to be extremely extensive. I recommend this book to anyone who is seeking a well put together prequel to one of the most savage genocides ever conducted.
