Description
Pure Massacre: Australian Soldiers Reflect on the Rwandan Genocide
In 1994, Rwanda was plunged into an orgy of violence that would surpass even the horrors of World War II. A group of Australian UN peacekeepers was sent to the country to restore order and offer assistance. However, they were exposed to a tragedy they could not have prepared for.
This book is a record of what happened during this peacekeeping mission, told from the perspective of those Australian soldiers who served in Rwanda at that time. It highlights the weaknesses of the UN charter and the personal toll that their service would take on them.
