I know few books, fiction or non-fiction, as compelling as Philip Gourevitch's account of the Rwandan genocideSebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm
Like the greatest war reporters, Philip Gourevitch raises the human banner in hell's mouth . . . This volume establishes him as the peer of Michael Herr, there is no limit to what we may expect from himRobert Stone
Magnificent, terrifying . . . Gourevitch's account is factual, unemotional - and utterly gut-wrenching . . . The great achievement of his book is that it allows us to imagine this unimaginable crime . . . and those who stood by, human beings allIrish Times
A sparkling jewel that shone no matter what angle you looked at it fromAmanda Foreman
