Though the killing was low-tech--largely by machete--it was carried out at shocking speed: some 800,000 people were exterminated in a hundred days. A Tutsi pastor, in a letter to his church president, a Hutu, used the chilling phrase that gives Gourevitch his title. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith keen dramatic intensity, Gourevitch frames the genesis and horror of Rwanda's \"genocidal logic\" in the anguish of its aftermath: the mass displacements, the temptations of revenge and the quest for justice, the impossibly crowded prisons and refugee camps. Through intimate portraits of Rwandans in all walks of life, he focuses on the psychological and political challenges of survival and on how the new leaders of postcolonial Africa went to war in the Congo when resurgent genocidal forces threatened to overrun central Africa. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCan a country composed largely of perpetrators and victims create a cohesive national society? This moving contribution to the literature of witness tells us much about the struggle everywhere to forge sane, habitable political orders, and about the stubbornness of the human spirit in a world of extremity.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilip Gourevitch\u003c\/b\u003e is a long-time staff writer at \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and a former editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Paris Review. \u003c\/i\u003eHe is the author of \u003ci\u003eStandard Operating Procedure\/The Ballad of Abu Ghraib\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Cold Case\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWe Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families\u003c\/i\u003e, which won numerous honors, including the National Book Critics Circle Award, and was counted by the Guardian among the 100 best nonfiction books of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.95 x 8.3 x 5.54 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 04, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helen Bernstein Book Award (1999)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guardian First Book Award (1999)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978431758637,"sku":"9780312243357","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/emsyczdCcTdrNXU2eDAzcEhlYXh4QT09.webp?v=1775805122","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/we-wish-to-inform-you-that-tomorrow-we-will-be-killed-with-our-families-stories-from-rwanda-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
