Roméo Dallaire writes memoir and non-fiction about military command, genocide, trauma and the protection of civilians. Shake Hands with the Devil recounts his leadership of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda during the 1994 genocide, describing warnings ignored, limited resources, political hesitation and the burden placed on peacekeepers who lacked authority to stop mass killing. They Fight Like Soldiers, They Die Like Children examines the recruitment and use of child soldiers and argues for prevention and rehabilitation rather than treating children primarily as combatants. Waiting for First Light turns inward to Dallaire's long experience of post-traumatic stress after Rwanda. His prose is direct, detailed and morally urgent. His work fits military memoir, genocide studies, peacekeeping and mental-health writing connected to combat and command. Read more Less
