Through unparalleled interviews with RPF defectors, former soldiers and atrocity survivors, supported by documents leaked from a UN court, Judi Rever brings us the complete history of the Rwandan genocide. Considered by the international community to be the saviours who ended the Hutu slaughter of innocent Tutsis, Kagame and his rebel forces were also killing, in quiet and in the dark, as ruthlessly as the Hutu genocidaire were killing in daylight. The reason why the larger world community hasn't recognized this truth? Kagame and his top commanders effectively covered their tracks and, post-genocide, rallied world guilt and played the heroes in order to attract funds to rebuild Rwanda and to maintain and extend the Tutsi sphere of influence in the region. Judi Rever, who has followed the story since 1997, has marshalled irrefutable evidence to show that Kagame's own troops shot down the presidential plane on April 6, 1994--the act that put the match to the genocidal flame. And she proves, without a shadow of doubt, that as Kagame and his forces slowly advanced on the capital of Kigali, they were ethnically cleansing the country of Hutu men, women and children in order that returning Tutsi settlers, displaced since the early '60s, would have homes and land. This book is heartbreaking, chilling and necessary."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Kagam�e, Paul, $d 1957- 600 17 $a Kagam�e, Paul, $d 1957- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00387808 600 17 $a Kagam�e, Paul, $d 1957- $2 gnd 600 17 $a Kagam�e, Paul, $d 1957- $2 ram 611 27 $a Civil War (Rwanda : 1994) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01352318 648 7 $a Since 1994 $2 fast 650 0 $a Genocide $z Rwanda. 650 7 $a Atrocities $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00820727 650 7 $a Genocide $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00940208 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a V�olkermord in Ruanda $2 gnd 650 7 $a G�enocide $z Rwanda $2 ram 651 0 $a Rwanda $x Politics and government $y 1994- 651 0 $a Rwanda $x Atrocities. $y Civil War, 1994 $x Atrocities. 651 7 $a Rwanda $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01212358 651 7 $a Ruanda $2 gnd 651 7 $a Rwanda $x Histoire. $2 ram 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 1 $a Rever, Judi. $t In praise of blood. $d Toronto : Random House Canada, 2018 $w (CaOONL)20189015918 941 $a 1 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20190329010148.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=087A8E0651E811E9B71BEAF596128E48 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
