But I was wrong.
This book is actually great. It does not only talk about the genocide itself but situates in well into its context of its time. Not just before, but also in the years after 1994.
I think the author did a good job. Really.
What I found especially interesting was the attempt to humanize the events during and around the genocide. The killings were not an abstract thing, they really happened. And the people of Rwanda are real people. Just like you and me. It is very important to never forget that.
