Shake Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in RwandaFor the first time in the United States comes the tragic and profoundly important story of the legendary Canadian general who "watched as the devil took control of paradise on earth and fed on the blood of the people we were supposed to protect." When Romeo Dallaire was called on to serve as force commander of the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda, he believed that his assignment was to help two warring parties achieve the peace they both wanted.
For the first time in the United States comes the tragic and profoundly important story of the legendary Canadian general who "watched as the devil took control of paradise on earth and fed on the blood of the people we were supposed to protect." When Romeo Dallaire was called on to serve as force commander of the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda, he believed that his assignment was to help two warring parties achieve the peace they both wanted. Instead, he was exposed to the most barbarous and chaotic display of civil war and genocide in the past decade, observing in just one hundred days the killings of more than eight hundred thousand Rwandans. With only a few troops, his own ingenuity and courage to direct his efforts, Dallaire rescued thousands, but his call for more support from the world body fell on deaf ears. In Shake Hands with the Devil, General Dallaire recreates the awful history the world community chose to ignore. He also chronicles his own progression from confident Cold Warrior to devastated UN commander, and finally to retired general struggling painfully, and publicly, to overcome posttraumatic stress disorder -- the highest-ranking officer ever to share such experiences with readers.Binding Type: Paperback

Affordable but still feels solid
Size: One Size, Color: Taupe
This is a great everyday tote bag. I use this as my weekday commuter purse. It has plenty of room to throw the random things that accumulate throughout the day. The material is soft but with just enough structure so it doesn’t flop over when you set it down. It’s thick but not heavy. The handles are large enough to sling over the shoulder, depending on your size. Overall, I’m so happy with this purchase. Great value for the money and it looks good too!

Cute and soft
Size: One Size, Color: Tan, Size: One Size, Color: Tan
Returned it. It did not stay close. Wanted to use as a cute diaper bag alternative. But if you don’t carry a lot of stuff, it might work for you. Very cute butter, soft material.

Great bag, but...
Size: One Size, Color: Tan
This tote is good. Great size, looks more expensive than what it was and I have received compliment on it. The reason I gave three stars is that it does not stays closed! The magnets are just not strong enough to keep it closed.
