Columbia University Press New Book Bulletins The Rwanda Crisis History of a Genocide Gérard Prunier "Prunier, a French political analyst, has produced the most thorough treatment of the background to the massacre, which left an estimated 800,000 dead and led 30 percent of Rwanda's population to flee to neighboring states. He presents his balanced and painstaking research with clarity and skill." Foreign Affairs "Gérard Prunier's new history of the Rwandan genocide casts this sad moment into the black and white relief of print and commits to memory the struggle of those Rwandans who fell victim to the atrocities of last year's tragedy. His book is a fitting tribute to those who lost their lives, and an important contribution to the work of understanding the complexities of modern conflict." The Boston Book Review "Prunier's elucidation of [Rwanda's history] seems to me to be beyond praise. He has reconstructed the entire process by which a thorough modern genocide was planned.He has read all the documents. He has interviewed both perpetrators and survivors. He has anatomized the cold process of mass murder in both theory and practice." "In this first English-language analysis of the Rwandan genocide, Prunier speaks from the unique persective of a knowledgeable but critical insider who is familiar with both the French establishment and the Rwandan Patriotic Front. In a lively and engaging voice, he offers the reader information unlikely to be found elsewhere." | |
