A gripping first hand account from Lt. Gen. Romeo Dallaire of the massacres in Rwnada

Please view the video in this link. I was watching cspan2 on Saturday, in which there are various interviews with authors. There was interview with Lt. General Romeo Dallaire which was absolutely engrossing. I found a link to the interview below. It is about a 20 minute clip, but a very worthwhile view in my opinion.


BOOK TV.ORG:

"Description: Lt. General Romeo Dallaire, former Force Commander of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda, is the author of 'Shake Hands With the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda.' While in his UN post in Rwanda in 1994, Lt. Gen. Dallaire and his limited number of troops witnessed the killing of more than 800,000 Rwandans in a period of a little over three months. The author talks about the under-equipped army he had with him and about how he had originally requested 5,000 troops in order to ensure order during the elections and oversee the safe return of Tutsi refugees. Upon returning to his native Canada, Lt. Gen. Dallaire served in various posts including assistant deputy minister in the Canadian Ministry of Defence. He also spent a great deal of time battling post-traumatic stress disorder and spoke openly about these battles."
