The Rwandan Genocide (Library Binding)

Between April and June 1994, an estimated 800,000 Rwandans were killed; participants in the murders were given incentives in the form of money, food, and land, to kill their fellow human beings. Author Don Nardo takes readers through these horrific events in human history. Readers will learn about Rwanda before the mass murders, and how the roots of hatred were sewn. The butcher and genocide at its most prolific are sensitively chronicled. The aftermath is also richly explored.
