I knew I didn't want to read the book, despite a cover blurb that reads, "Nobel Prizes are given to books like A Sunday at the Pool in Kigali."
"It" is about Rwanda, no details spared; and about how the world stood idly by and watched. Try this brutal masterpiece from Gil Courtmanche ... if you dare.

Perhaps broadening my resources for world events is a starting place...
