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. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 611 27 Civil War (Rwanda : 1994) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01352318 651 0 Rwanda |xHistory |y1994- 651 0 Rwanda |xHistory |yCivil War, 1994. 651 0 Rwanda |xHistory |y1962-1994. 651 0 Rwanda |xPolitics and government |y1994- 651 0 Rwanda |xPolitics and government |y1962-1994. 650 7 HISTORY / Africa / General. |2bisacsh 650 7 Politics and government. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 Rwanda. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01212358 648 7 Since 1962 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 852 0 |bstacks |hDT450.44 |i.T457 2018
