Synopsis

April 2004 sees the tenth anniversary of the Rwanda genocide, an event generally acknowledged to be both one of the most appalling of the twentieth century and one that could have been avoided. Linda Melvern's new book is a damning indictment of almost all the key figures and the institutions involved.

Media Reviews
The best overall account of the background to the genocide, and the failure to prevent it, is Linda Melvern's A People Betrayed. I provided the author with information and consulted on some of the chapters; the investigative work is hers and hers alone. She discovered so much that we did not know, and her book remains one of the best sources available . - General Romeo Dallaire, author of Shake Hands with the Devil (2003); 'Quite extraordinary: precise, and yet overwhelming; a fine balance in the face of depravity... a brave and compelling book.' Professor Richard Falk, Princeton University
