Explanation Concering Books Season of Blood: A Rwandan Journey

When President Habyarimana’s jet was shot down in April 1994, Rwanda erupted into a hundred-day orgy of killing – which left up to a million dead. Fergal Keane travelled through the country as the genocide was continuing, and his powerful analysis reveals the terrible truth behind the headlines.

‘A tender, angry account … As well as being a scathing indictment – Keane says the genocide inflicted on the Tutsis was planned well in advance by Hutu leaders – this is a graphic view of news-gathering in extremis. It deserves to become a classic’ Independent.

Criticize Regarding Books Season of Blood: A Rwandan Journey

While not brilliant, this book does give the reader the space to step inside what must have been a very difficult journey. Keane also gives a far better historical context than other books I've read about the Rwandan genocide.

It's a young journalist's record of his experience of reporting Rwanda's genocide towards the end. It's finely written although it doesn't contain the broad historical context and penetrating analysis of global and regional politics that profoundly impact the story as Emma's War does.

This was very different from other books I have read about the 1994 Rwanda genocide. Written within a year after the fact by a BBC journalist who traveled in the country while the killings were still happening, it has a feel of immediacy that makes the horrors palpable. The prologue provides a valuable analysis of Rwandan history that led to this tragedy, and the author's first-person observations and reflections make the horrors palpable. Since he is an outsider, he can provide a somewhat

This is the second book I've read about Rwanda. The author did very well in describing what he experienced. I may never understand why people will do such things. I expect nightmares similar to those I had after the first book.

Having just come back from Rwanda and visited some of the locations where Fergal Keane wended his way in the immediate aftermath of the 1994 Rwandan genocide I was really interested in his observations. I thought it was a very good book.It's short, long on humanity, documenting the horror that unfolded. He was 21 years younger then, but you sense that this situation surpassed any other scene of devastation and suffering that he had seen before. It's well constructed as a journey from N to S and

It's odd to have to rate a book like this. I feel odd, at any rate. As you can imagine, it's not an easy read in parts. But Keane managed to make me feel both heartbroken and angry, so I suppose he pulls it off.

I think this is an important book to understand what happened in Rwanda. Genocide that the world seems to have forgotten.
