Immaculee Ilibagiza grew up in a country she loved; surrounded by a family she cherished. But in 1994 her idyllic world was ripped apart as Rwanda descended into a bloody genocide. Immaculee’s family was brutally murdered during a killing spree that lasted three months and claimed the lives of nearly a million Rwandans. Incredibly; Immaculee survived the slaughter. For 91 days; she and seven other women huddled silently together in the cramped bathroom of a local pastor while hundreds of machete-wielding killers hunted for them.

The Middle Sea.. a read that should not be missedBy Gaspare di CampobelloHere is a history book filled with detail; dialogue; and facts that should be read by ALL!The Mediterranean; possibly the cradle of humanity; has seen the viyages of the agee. This water way has been the corridor to new civilizations; and the road to glory and dispear for others. John Norwich has made a more than interesting; entertaining and informative read. He has awakened many readers to an era many 'westeners' have missed in there history calsses.The events today; are reflected in history. It is a shame some of the world's learders have not really studied history. Perhaps if they did; history would not have repeated itself.Norwich has written this book at a very appropriate time. It should be offered in ever secondary school program. We need to know the world; as it was. And we must know what we may expect if we do not learn from past experiences (mistakes)!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
