All at once, as it seemed, something we could have only imagined was upon us - and we could still only imagine it. This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.
In 1994, the Rwandan government orchestrated a campaign of extermination, in which everyone in the Hutu majority was called upon to murder everyone in the Tutsi minority. Close to a million people were slaughtered in a hundred days, and the rest of the world did nothing to stop it. A year later, Philip Gourevitch went to Rwanda to investigate the most unambiguous genocide since Hitler's war against the Jews.
Hailed by the Guardian as one of the hundred greatest non-fiction books of all time, We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families is a first-hand account of one of the defining outrages of modern history, an unforgettable anatomy of Rwanda's decimation. As riveting as it is moving, it is a profound reckoning with humanity's betrayal and its perseverance.
'Magnificent, terrifying . . . Gourevitch's account is factual, unemotional - and utterly gut-wrenching' Irish Times
'This soul-searching, painfully lyrical book rises above its grisly subject' Evening Standard
