from Hay House
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
It was difficult for me to put the book down and I finished it quickly even though I had already seen the author interviewed on three different EWTN TV shows.

from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.19

Customer Review:
While traveling on an overland safari, I ran out of books to read. (Although I brought plenty, as an English teacher, I was devouring them as we drove through the African countryside.)

Customer Review:
This book was among the best I have read this year. I had no idea as to the atrocities committed in the Congo around the turn of the century until I picked up this book.

I certainly enjoyed this book. We will be reading this book as a choice for a book club.

from Picador

Customer Review:
I've lived in Africa near Rwanda for several years and have studied the Rwanda genocide extensively in graduate school. There is no better book about the genocide than "We Wish to Inform You.." It's extremely sad, frustrating, and fascinating at the same time. Gourevitch tells the stories so well... more info
