YA
World in Conflict series.
Starting with the 1994 genocide and refugee crisis in Rwanda, this balanced history traces the Tutsi-Hutu conflict through its pre-colonial and colonial roots and continues with the situation after 1994. Avoiding sensationalism, the book focuses on the political causes rather than the bloody results, and uses maps, color photos, and historical black-and-white photos to illustrate. A chronology is included. Bib., glos., ind.
