We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families

Om boken

In 1994, the Rwandan government orchestrated a campaign of extermination, in which everyone in the Hutu majority was called upon to murder everyone in the Tutsi minority. Close to a million people were slaughtered in a hundred days, and the rest of the world did nothing to stop it. A year later, journalist Philip Gourevitch went to Rwanda to investigate the most unambiguous genocide since Hitler's war against the Jews. We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families is an unforgettable anatomy of Rwanda's decimation. As riveting as it is moving, it is a profound reckoning with humanity's betrayal and its perseverance. 'I know few books, fiction or non-fiction, as compelling as Philip Gourevitch's account of the Rwandan genocide' — Sebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm 'Gourevitch constructs a powerful indictment against international inaction' — Observer 'Magnificent, terrifying' — The Irish Times
