A Case Closed: The End of the Rwanda Genocide

By Philip Gourevitch

In 1994, the world watched in horror as the Rwandan genocide unfolded. In just 100 days, an estimated 800,000 people were killed in a systematic campaign of ethnic violence. The international community failed to intervene, and the genocide was allowed to continue until the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) took control of the country.

In his book, "A Case Closed: The End of the Rwanda Genocide," Philip Gourevitch tells the story of the genocide and its aftermath. He draws on extensive interviews with survivors, perpetrators, and international observers to provide a comprehensive and nuanced account of one of the darkest chapters in human history.
