Titanic Express: Searching for my sister's killers

By Richard Wilson

Book Overview

On December 28th 2000 VSO volunteer Charlotte Wilson was killed in a massacre when her bus was ambushed in war-torn Burundi. Twenty others died with her, including her Burundian fiance. The attackers were members of Hutu-extremist Forces Nationales de Liberation (FNL), a group linked to those responsible for the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Charlotte's brother, Richard, attempts to come to terms with the trauma of a family's loss - to make sense of Charlotte's murder, and to seek some kind of justice. Titanic Express raises vital questions about the institutions in which we trust to safeguard human rights, and exposes contradictions in the recent rhetoric on terror.
