For the first time in the United States comes the tragic and
profoundly important story of the legendary Canadian general who
"watched as the devil took control of paradise on earth and fed on
the blood of the people we were supposed to protect." When Romeo
Dallaire was called on to serve as force commander of the UN
Assistance Mission for Rwanda, he believed that his assignment was
to help two warring parties achieve the peace they both wanted.
Instead, he was exposed to the most barbarous and chaotic display
of civil war and genocide in the past decade, observing in just one
hundred days the killings of more than eight hundred thousand
Rwandans. With only a few troops, his own ingenuity and courage to
direct his efforts, Dallaire rescued thousands, but his call for
more support from the world body fell on deaf ears. In Shake Hands
with the Devil, General Dallaire recreates the awful history the
world community chose to ignore. He also chronicles his own
progression from confident Cold Warrior to devastated UN commander,
and finally to retired general struggling painfully, and publicly,
to overcome posttraumatic stress disorder,the highest-ranking
officer ever to share such experiences with readers.
