African Editorial Review
In 'Shake Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda,' Romeo Dallaire convincingly argues that the Rwandan genocide was easily preventable, but politicians and bureaucrats around the world ignored the pleas for help. The book is compelling and emotional, written like a daily journal. Dallaire details his negotiations to stop the genocide and his actions during the genocide, highlighting the abandonment of the UN and the international community. The last section of the book offers suggestions for improving government response to humanitarian crises. Overall, 'Shake Hands with the Devil' is a well-written and informative book that educates readers about a tragic event that could have been mitigated.
