3.0

This book had so many 5 star ratings that It makes me wonder what I am missing. After watching The Act of Killing, The Look of Silence, and Shoah I know genocide can be handled with sensitivity yet unflinching realness that helps illuminate the darkness. How can so many people be murdered by their machete-wielding neighbors in 100 days? This book really didn't answer that question. It does explain the aftermath and all of its complexities and documents the bungled international response. But for me it raised more questions than it answered.
