New Releases by Brent Beardsley

Persoonlijk verslag van de militair die leiding gaf aan de troepen van de Verenigde Naties die in 1994 tevergeefs een genocide in Rwanda trachtten te voorkomen.

Beardsley discusses the universal commonality for the need for a hero in life to look up to. Beardsley then begins to examine the popularity of urban legends in creating these everyday heroes, as well as the elements of a good urban legend. Finally, Beardsley analyzes the common, everyday heroes of a sampling of common, everyday people.

''Shake Hands With The Devil'' provides a powerful and harrowing account of the Rwandan genocide and a denunciation of the failure of the international community to prevent it.
