Abstract
For two months, Paul Rusesabagina held insanity at bay as he
watched his country fall into the grips of genocide in 1994. A
Hutu manager of a luxury hotel in Rwanda, he sheltered more
than 1,200 people, including his own Tutsi wife and children,
saving their lives at a time when extremists massacred more
than 800,000 members of the Tutsi and moderate Hutu tribes in
just 100 days.
