Tribunal for Rwanda, where he worked from 1999 to 2012.
"A definitive account from an accomplished researcher and a primary
witness for the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. The
book is a comprehensive telling of the events leading to genocide
and the evolution of genocidal policy by state actors."
--Choice
"A landmark in the historiography of the Rwandan genocide. No
serious scholar writing about the genocide can afford to ignore
this trailblazing contribution."--René Lemarchand, author of The
Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa
"Dispels myth after myth about the Rwandan genocide and Rwandan
history."--Washington Post
"Magisterial. . . . Guichaoua makes a compelling case that the
scaling up of violence to genocidal levels was progressive and tied
at least in part to the escalation of the civil war and the timid
and ineffectual international response to the initial violence. A
profound implication of this revisionist history is that individual
decisions on the part of both Rwandans and outsiders could have
prevented the genocide even weeks after the onset of ethnic-based
mass killing."--Foreign Affairs
