Rwanda - Unamir 1994/95

Kevin O'Halloran

From the Australian Military History Series Number 1. 

Rwanda is no stranger to violence. In 1994 a plethora of killing swept across the tiny land-locked nation and genocide erupted on a scale unseen since the horrors of Hitler in the Second World War.

To alleviate the suffering and restore order to shattered lives, a group of Australian United Nations peacekeepers were sent to Rwanda under a mandate. These Australians were exposed to a lack of humanity they were not prepared for and found difficult to fathom.

This publication is a detailed account of what happened during this peacekeeping mission.
