For the first time in the USA comes the tragic and profoundly important story of the legendary Canadian general who “watched as the devil took keep an eye on of paradise on the planet and fed on the blood of the people we were supposed to give protection to.” When Roméo Dallaire used to be called on to serve as force commander of the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda, he believed that his assignment used to be to help two warring parties achieve the peace they both wanted. Instead, he used to be exposed to the most barbarous and chaotic display of civil war and genocide prior to now decade, observing in just one hundred days the killings of more than eight hundred thousand Rwandans. With just a few troops, his own ingenuity and courage to direct his efforts, Dallaire rescued thousands, but his call for more enhance 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 in spite of everything to retired general struggling painfully, and publicly, to triumph over posttraumatic stress disorder—the highest-ranking officer ever to share such experiences with readers.
