(I do not rate memoirs.)
I put this book on my tbr after watching Hotel Rwanda with my human geography students and after seeing it mentioned in A Problem from Hell by Samantha Power. Dallaire led the UN mission to Rwanda and experienced the horrors of the genocide first hand. This is not a book one can read quickly; it took me almost a week. It's a deep, challenging, necessary read that one should not speed through. I highly recommend this book.
