Publisher's Synopsis
Into the heart of a genocide that left a million people dead 6 April 1994: in the skies above Rwanda, the President's plane is shot down in flames. The mass slaughter that follows - friends against friends, neighbours against neighbours - is one of the bloodiest chapters in history. Twenty years on, BBC Newsnight producer David Belton, one of the first journalists into Rwanda, tells of the horrors he experienced at first-hand. Following the stories of two men, family man, Jean-Pierre, and missionary priest, Vjeko Curic, he revisits a country still marked with blood, in search of those who survived and the legacy of those who did not.
