We Wish to Inform You that Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families: Stories from Rwanda

By Philip Gourevitch
Hennepin County Library paperback
genre: non-fiction genocide

I only got through chapter four. The book was due back, on hold for someone else, and I'm too busy right now anyhow. It is a chapter of recent history about which I am woefully ignorant. (I was taking care of little children in 1994 and not aware of much outside my home.) I am horrified by the murders, and fascinated by the history of the Hutus and Tutsis. I need to learn more and may get this book again later.
