Shake Hands With the Devil by Romeo Dallaire
Shake Hands with the Devil is a harsh, uncompromising account of a great catastrophe — one the great powers saw coming and chose not to prevent.
It is also to confront uncomfortable truths … Shake Hands with the Devil is an uncommonly courageous work, wrung from the depths of despair and wrought in plain, forthright prose … Abroad in the world, the Canadian humanitarian needs a saint’s compassion, a scholar’s knowledge, and a soldier’s strength.

 'Shake Hands With the Devil' - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
As the general is driven into town from the airport at the capital city of Kigali, we hear his memories of "so many bodies we couldn't pick them up, howling dogs, the smell of death." We see, as happens periodically throughout the film, brief newsreel footage of corpses and even murders.
But the most troubling aspect of "Devil," directed by Peter Raymont, is not what we see — it's what we hear about what one observer calls "the incredible moral default on the part of the world" that allowed all this to take place.
"Shake Hands With the Devil" explains what happened in 1994 and shows what Dallaire goes through as he revisits the awful scenes of his past.

 The Voice of ‘Sweet Honey’ and In Brief: ‘Shake Hands with the Devil'
"Shake Hands with the Devil": The 1994 genocide of Rwanda, which left nearly one million dead in three months, will forever haunt Lt. Gen. Romeo Daillaire, who was in charge on UN forces in the country during that time.
As much as this documentary details Daillaire's inability to stop the carnage—which is graphic, it also details the failure of his own agency and the international community to step in while the madness might have been averted.
More than "Hotel Rwanda" or "Sometimes in April," "Shake Hands with the Devil" also documents Belgium's history of colonialism and fomenting of ethnic strife that fueled this horrific chapter in Africa's history.
