This book delves deep into the rise of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), the political collapse of the Hutu-led government, and the efforts of Paul Kagame to rebuild a nation shattered by violence. But it doesn't stop there-The Rwanda 100 Days of Horror explores the international community's failure to intervene, the lasting consequences for Rwanda's people, and the impact of Rwanda's recovery on the region as a whole.
Through gripping narrative and in-depth analysis, this book presents a story of both unspeakable brutality and extraordinary resilience. It raises uncomfortable questions about the global response to genocide, while honoring the courage and strength of survivors who rebuilt their lives and their nation from the ground up.
