Kegel, J: Struggle for Liberation

Many people write about the Rwandan genocide as if it were essentially a moral issue. And it certainly was. But it was rooted in a war reality few people know about. If you want to understand what that reality was, read this book.

The 1990-94 Rwandan Civil War was no ordinary civil conflict, but rather the critically important precursor to genocide and to a campaign to bring about a "second independence" for Central Africa and beyond. With his detailed and finely researched book, John Burton Kegel makes a very important contribution to our understanding of the war and its protagonists.
