Do Not Disturb: The Story of a Political Murder and an African Regime Gone Bad by Michela Wrong

challenging dark emotional reflective medium-paced

5.0

I really liked this book. I, of course, had a basic awareness of the Rwandan genocide, but I had zero understanding of its underpinnings and how the conflict actually unfolded. I think Wrong does a really good job of laying out the conflict for those who are new to the history of the region. The one flag/caveat/thing is that Wrong is not from the region - she's a white British reporter who was stationed in the region for many years. I don't know that that lessens her credibility, but it is important to recognize going into this book that it's being told from a whyte British lens.
