Bargains! PROMOTIONS
Fergal Keane was a BBC correspondent in Africa for more than ten years. He is now its Asia correspondent, based in Hong Kong. Keane was born in London and grew up in Dublin. He was educated at Presentation Brothers College in Cork, where Keane engaged in the debate society, where he won a Gold Medal for Public Speaking. Keane is the author of The Bondage of Fear, Season of BLood, Letter to Daniel, and many more.
This almost unbearable book looks unflinchingly into the heart of evil. The author, Southern Africa Correspondent for the BBC, brought a sanitized version of genocide into Western living rooms from April to July 1994. Here the raw reality is fully chronicled: the massacre at Nyarubuye, the overwhelmed orphanages and hospitals, the hand-wringing of the international governments. As events bore out, there is little hope among the few brief examples of individual decency. Winner of the Orwell Prize 1995. (Kirkus UK)
