Fergal Keane is one of those journalists who has represented the 1994 war in Rwanda objectively. He has given the readers a chance to know both sides of the story. the Rwanda conflict has been portrayed in a loopsided way, but Keane's book has clears that, and presents to the readers the role and responsibilities of all parties to the conflict and the stakeholders.This is a very well written book that we ought to take lessons from.
