Lt. General Roméo Dallaire served as the commander of the UN mission to Rwanda, he thought he was heading off to Africa to help to restore peace. Instead, he and members of his small international force were caught up in a vortex of civil war and genocide. Shake Hands with the Devil is an award-winning international sensation. It is a remarkable tale of a soldier’s courage and an unforgettable parable of good and evil. It is also a stinging indictment of the patty bureaucrats who refused to give Dallaire the men and the operational freedom he needed to stop the killing. ‘I know there is a God, ‘Dallaire writes,’ because in Rwanda I shook hands with the devil. Dallaire left Rwanda a broken man, disillusioned, suicidal, and determined to tell his story.
