Nothing brings to life the story of Rwanda’s genocide more than personal accounts.  There are plenty of great videos on Youtube what will create the spark students interest in this horrific history lesson.  Alexander Cruden has put together a strong collection of essays, mainly primary source in nature, that can supplement the classroom teacher, but this is not a stand alone history of the genocide.  Full color pictures and maps throughout will aid the student.  Divided into 3 chapters, Historical Background on the Rwandan Genocide, Controversies Surrounding the Rwandan Genocide, and Personal Narratives, with at least five essays in each, this book is for the student researcher who is looking for key quotations to support their position papers. Issues regarding women and children in particular come through the 2nd and 3rd chapter essays.  Chronology in the back serves as a great review/summary for students.  The $40.00 hardcover price is worth it.
