The author describes how he utilized his position as a hotel manager in violence-stricken Rwanda to offer shelter to more than twelve thousand members of the Tutsi clan and Hutu moderates, an act that inspired an Academy Award-nominated film.
This book has aged beautifully, especially in today's politically charged environment. It emphasizes the profound value of words, illustrating how they can be a matter of life and death in silenced countries. It opened my eyes to how the labels we use contribute to discrimination and prejudice, making it a must-read for understanding the power of language.
