An Ordinary Man: An Autobiography by Paul Rusesabagina (with Tom Zoellner)

This book has been hailed as a wonderful account of the Rwandan civil war. It provides the story behind the Blockbuster hit, Hotel Rwanda. Paul Rusesabagina writes of his life before, during, and after the genocide that took place in Rwanda. This autobiography contains both stories of love and human compassion, as well as grotesque scenes of violence committed against innocent parties. This account includes many well-known facts about the events surrounding the Rwanda genocides and some of the not-so-known facts. It is a must-read. Anyone interested in the Rwandan history needs to read this book.
