The Rwanda CrisisHistory of a Genocide
by Gérard Prunier (1995)

Meticulously researched, elaborating history and politics of pre-colonial Rwanda, written in a “scientifically” detached tone, with the author most of the time addressing himself in third person (except in the occasion of Opération Turquoise where he was involved). Prunier is unapologetically, scathingly sardonic towards France, his home country, who undeniably contributed majorly in the further poisoning of an already disastrous solution.
