An unforgettable firsthand account of a people's response to genocide and what it tells us about humanity

The Missouri Review

Gourevitch's laurels- most notably a National Book Critics Circle Award for nonfiction- are well desearved for this mesmerizing and disturbing account of the 1994 Rwandan genocide and it's aftermath... What is most striking about We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families is that it is both an objective autopsy of the shattered nation of Rwanda and the powerful story of the author's own personal journey toward comprehending the Rwandan tragedy.
