Instead, he and members of his small international force were caught up in a vortex of civil war and genocide. Dallaire left Rwanda a broken man; disillusioned, suicidal, and determined to tell his story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn award-winning international sensation, \u003ci\u003eShake Hands with the Devil\u003c\/i\u003e is a landmark contribution to the literature of war: a remarkable tale of a soldier's courage and an unforgettable portrait of modern warfare. It is also a stinging indictment of the petty bureaucrats who refused to give Dallaire the men and the operational freedom he needed to stop the killing. 'I know there is a God,' Dallaire writes, 'because in Rwanda I shook hands with the devil. I have seen him, I have smelled him and I have touched him. I know the devil exists and therefore I know there is a God.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Read Roméo Dallaire's profoundly sad and moving book.'
