Susan Thomson, who witnessed the hostilities firsthand, has written a provocative modern history of the country, its rulers, and its people, covering the years prior to, during, and following the genocidal conflict. Thomson's hard-hitting analysis explores the key political events that led to the ascendance of the Rwandan Patriotic Front and its leader, President Paul Kagame. This important and controversial study examines the country's transition from war to reconciliation from the perspective of ordinary Rwandan citizens, Tutsi and Hutu alike, and raises serious questions about the stability of the current peace, the methods and motivations of the ruling regime and its troubling ties to the past, and the likelihood of a genocide-free future. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 256-288) and index. 651 0 $a Rwanda $x History $y 1994- 651 0 $a Rwanda $x History $y Civil War, 1994. 651 0 $a Rwanda $x History $y 1962-1994. 651 0 $a Rwanda $x Politics and government $y 1994- 651 0 $a Rwanda $x Politics and government $y 1962-1994. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015353.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180703025622.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20180627023557.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=10FE91F4688611E8A317244297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
