Susan Thomson, who witnessed the hostilities firsthand, has written a provocative modern history of the country, its rulers, and its people, covering the years prior to, during, and following the genocidal conflict. Thomson's hard-hitting analysis explores the key political events that led to the ascendance of the Rwandan Patriotic Front and its leader, President Paul Kagame. This important and controversial study examines the country's transition from war to reconciliation from the perspective of ordinary Rwandan citizens, Tutsi and Hutu alike, and raises serious questions about the stability of the current peace, the methods and motivations of the ruling regime and its troubling ties to the past, and the likelihood of a genocide-free future 650 7 Folkmordet i Rwanda 1994|2sao 650 7 Inbördeskriget i Rwanda 1994|2sao 651 0 Rwanda|xHistory|y1994- 651 0 Rwanda|xHistory|yCivil War, 1994 651 0 Rwanda|xHistory|y1962-1994 651 0 Rwanda|xPolitics and government|y1994- 651 0 Rwanda|xPolitics and government|y1962-1994 651 7 Afrika|zRwanda|2sao 907 00 180406
