Shake Hands with the Devil - by Roméo Dallaire (Paperback)This item is not available

Shake Hands with the Devil is a gripping and powerful account of General Roméo Dallaire's experience as force commander of the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda during the genocide that claimed over 800,000 lives.

This book is not just a historical account but a personal journey of transformation from a confident Cold Warrior to a devastated UN commander and finally to a retired general struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder.

General Dallaire's story is an affidavit for an indictment of the murderers, the hamstrung, bureaucratized UN, and the self-absorbed developed world.

It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of human nature, the importance of international intervention, and the devastating consequences of unchecked violence.
