<p><b>**Winner of the <i>Guardian </i>First Book award**</b><br><br><b>'I know few books, fiction or non-fiction, as compelling as Philip Gourevitch's account of the Rwandan genocide' – Sebastian Junger, author of <i>The Perfect Storm</i></b><br><br><b>‘Should be compulsory reading’ – <i>The Guardian</i></b><br><br>In 1994, the Rwandan government orchestrated a campaign of extermination, in which everyone in the Hutu majority was called upon to murder everyone in the Tutsi minority.
Close to a million people were slaughtered in a hundred days, and the rest of the world did nothing to stop it. A year later, journalist Philip Gourevitch went to Rwanda to investigate the most unambiguous genocide since Hitler’s war against the Jews.<br><br>Hailed by the <i>Guardian </i>as one of the hundred greatest non-fiction books of all time, and now celebrated as part of the Picador Collection, <i>We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families</i> is an unforgettable anatomy of Rwanda’s decimation.
As riveting as it is moving, it is a profound reckoning with humanity’s betrayal and its perseverance.<br><br><b>‘Gourevitch constructs a powerful indictment against international inaction’ – <i>Observer</i><br>‘Magnificent, terrifying’ – <i>The Irish Times</i></b></p>
