The 1994 Rwandan Genocide (Electronic book text)

This collection of New York Times articles covers the 1994 Rwandan genocide, a wave of violence that followed the death of Rwanda's President, Juvenal Habyarimana, in a suspicious plane crash. Large scale killings of Hutu moderates and Tutsis followed, affecting citizens in the capital, in villages and in the countryside. After months of fighting during which more than 800,000 died, the RPF routed the Rwandan army and ousted the government.
