A chilling and powerful look at one of the most unambiguous cases of genocide in history: the 1994 mass murder of 800,000 Tutsis in Rwanda. Philip Gourevitch's haunting work takes readers on a journey through the genocide's background while providing a vivid and unforgettable account of what it means to survive in its aftermath.
