In that country, writes Belgian historian Gérard Prunier, Tutsi and Hutu fell to slaughtering each other at the end of a long history of Belgian, German, and French colonialism that deliberately played on ethnic tensions. The final "historical product" was the murder of perhaps a million people and the displacement another two million, nearly half of the country's population all told. Prunier traces a course through the complex history of unrest and hatred that washed over Rwanda, and he looks deeply into the question of why this horror could have happened in an era of international peacekeeping. His conclusion is disturbing: "Genocides are a modern phenomenon--they require organization--and they are likely to become more frequent." 311827 1995 The Rwanda Crisis total:33|5:15|4:10|3:7|2:1|1:0| 33 138 56 6 4 0 false false Tue Jun 09 22:08:24 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 06:18:01 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Wed Apr 15 12:20:10 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 12:20:48 -0700 2009 I learned a lot from reading this book. ]]> 4 0 false false Sun Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Sat Sep 08 06:03:41 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 08 06:06:00 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Tue Jul 08 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 05 15:38:28 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 08 12:12:05 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Jan 22 10:20:48 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 21 13:11:28 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Apr 08 16:45:26 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 08 16:45:26 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu Nov 26 23:27:52 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 26 23:27:52 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 22 15:31:44 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 15:31:44 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 19 21:42:45 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 21:42:45 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Aug 29 18:49:46 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 18:49:46 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Aug 17 21:55:08 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 21:55:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 20 05:27:04 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 05:27:05 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Jun 03 21:16:46 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 21:16:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 24 12:59:43 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 12:59:43 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed May 06 19:31:03 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 19:31:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 02 20:14:02 -0700 2009 Sat May 02 20:14:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 24 01:08:07 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 24 01:08:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 15 12:03:30 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 12:03:30 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Apr 13 00:50:27 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 00:50:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 10 08:36:54 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 10 08:36:54 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=321093
