      abstract = {The life story of Paul Rusesabagina, the man whose heroism  inspired the film Hotel Rwanda. As his country was torn  apart by violence during the Rwandan genocide of 1994,  hotel manager Rusesabagina--the "Oskar Schindler of  Africa"--refused to bow to the madness that surrounded him.  Confronting killers with a combination of diplomacy,  flattery, and deception, he offered shelter to more than  12,000 members of the Tutsi clan and Hutu moderates, while  homicidal mobs raged outside. This book explores what the  film could not: the inner life of the man who became the  most prominent public face of that terrible conflict.  Rusesabagina tells his full story--the son of a rural  farmer, the child of a mixed marriage, the career path  which led him to become the first Rwandan manager of the  Belgian-owned hotel--all of which contributed to his heroic  actions in the face of horror.--From publisher  description.},
