Reviews

Jared Cohen interviewed those who usually have been overlooked by scholars and journalists--Rwandans and mid-level U.S. Government officials. His bold freshness of approach was the starting point for this arresting analysis--equally fresh--of exactly how the U.S. Government's ability to act morally in the Rwandan genocide crisis was immobilized.--James Lowell Gibbs, Jr.
