Philip Gourevitch Knihy

V apríli 1994 rwandská vláda vyzvala všetkých Hutuov, aby zabili všetkých Tutsiov. V priebehu nasledujúcich troch mesiacov bolo zabitých 800-tisíc Tutsiov v najväčšej genocíde od Hitlerovho vyvražďovania Židov. Kniha Philipa Gourevitcha je anatómiou zabíjania v Rwande, prenikavou históriou pozadia genocídy a nezabudnuteľnou správou o preživších. Napriek tomu, že zabíjanie bolo technologicky nenáročné – vykonané prevažne mačetami –, uskutočnilo sa rýchlosťou vyrážajúcou dych. Išlo o najefektívnejšie masové vraždenie od čias, keď boli na Hirošimu a Nagasaki zhodené atómové bomby. Gourevitch zachytáva nielen príčiny a priebeh genocídy, ale aj jej dopady na Rwandu a okolité krajiny. Podstatnou otázkou je, ako dokáže spoločnosť zložená z veľkej časti z vinníkov a ich obetí vôbec fungovať. Vypovedá veľa o šanci na vybudovanie humánneho politického zriadenia a odhodlaní ľudskej duše vo svete extrémov.
