Description
Rwanda From Genocide to Precarious Peace by Susan Thomson is a sobering study of a troubled African nation. The brutal civil war between Hutu and Tutsi factions in Rwanda ended in 1994, but its impact continues to shape the country's future. Thomson's hard-hitting analysis explores the key political events that led to the ascendance of the Rwandan Patriotic Front and its leader, examining the country's transition from war to reconciliation. She sheds light on the methods and motivations of the ruling regime and its troubling ties to the past, raising serious questions about the stability of the current peace. This book offers a provocative modern history of Rwanda, covering the years prior to, during, and following the genocidal conflict. By exploring the experiences of ordinary Rwandan citizens, Tutsi and Hutu alike, Thomson raises important questions about the likelihood of a genocide-free future.
