false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172779778m/215758.jpg 215758 10 <div>For the first time in the United States comes the tragic and profoundly important story of the legendary Canadian general who &#8220;watched as the devil took control of paradise on earth and fed on the blood of the people we were supposed to protect.&#8221; When Roméo Dallaire was called on to serve as force commander of the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda, he believed that his assignment was to help two warring parties achieve the peace they both wanted. Instead, he was exposed to the most barbarous and chaotic display of civil war and genocide in the past decade, observing in just one hundred days the killings of more than eight hundred thousand Rwandans. With only a few troops, his own ingenuity and courage to direct his efforts, Dallaire rescued thousands, but his call for more support from the world body fell on deaf ears. In Shake Hands with the Devil, General Dallaire recreates the awful history the world community chose to ignore. He also chronicles his own progression from confident Cold Warrior to devastated UN commander, and finally to retired general struggling painfully, and publicly, to overcome posttraumatic stress disorder&#8212;the highest-ranking officer ever to share such experiences with readers.</div> 2197374 2003 Shake Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda total:596|5:273|4:229|3:80|2:12|1:2| 596 2547 1087 122 215758 0786715103 9780786715107 465 95 4.27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172779778m/215758.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/215758.Shake_Hands_with_the_Devil_The_Failure_of_Humanity_in_Rwanda 4 3 false Wed Feb 25 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 01 21:13:03 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 26 10:24:46 -0800 2009 more...]]> 215758 0786715103 9780786715107 465 95 4.27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172779778m/215758.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/215758.Shake_Hands_with_the_Devil_The_Failure_of_Humanity_in_Rwanda 5 1 false Fri Feb 15 11:55:15 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 15 23:25:49 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3329394 8 2 4.27 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3329394.Shake_Hands_with_the_Devil_The_Failure_of_Humanity_in_Rwanda 3 1 false Thu May 22 07:20:53 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 04 12:36:57 -0700 2008 more...]]> 215758 0786715103 9780786715107 465 95 4.27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172779778m/215758.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/215758.Shake_Hands_with_the_Devil_The_Failure_of_Humanity_in_Rwanda 5 1 false Thu Jun 28 08:05:25 -0700 2007 Sat Jul 14 16:42:06 -0700 2007 more...]]> 215758 0786715103 9780786715107 465 95 4.27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172779778m/215758.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/215758.Shake_Hands_with_the_Devil_The_Failure_of_Humanity_in_Rwanda 5 0 false Mon Feb 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 21:54:31 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 17:13:57 -0800 2009 more...]]> 215758 0786715103 9780786715107 465 95 4.27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172779778m/215758.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/215758.Shake_Hands_with_the_Devil_The_Failure_of_Humanity_in_Rwanda 5 2 false Thu Mar 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 15 18:00:26 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 13:30:28 -0700 2009
