We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families

"[It is the] sobering voice of witness that Gourevitch has vividly captured in his work."—Wole Soyinka, The New York Times Book Review

"[Gourevitch] has the mind of a scholar along with the observative capacity of a good novelist, and he writes like an angel. This volume establishes him as the peer of Michael Herr, Ryszard Kapuscinski, and Tobias Wolff. I think there is no limit to what we may expect from him."—Robert Stone

"A sobering, revealing, and deeply thoughtful chronicle."—The Boston Globe

"The most important book I have read in many years . . . Gourevitch's book poses the preeminent question of our time: What—if anything—does it mean to be a human being at the end of the twentieth century? . . . He examines [the genocidal war in Rwanda] with humility, anger, grief, and a remarkable level of both political and moral intelligence."—Susie Linfield, Los Angeles Times

"Shocking and important . . . clear and balanced . . . the voice in this book is meticulous and humane."—Michael Pearson, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"Astonishing . . . [Gourevitch] is masterful at placing the unspeakability of mass murder into actual people's mouths and inhabiting it in actual people's stories."—Mark Gevisser, Newsday

"A staggeringly good book . . . Gourevitch's beautiful writing drives you deep into Rwanda, his brilliant reportage tells you everything that can be seen from an event beyond imagining or explaining . . . He drives you, in fact, right up against the limits of what a book can do . . . [We Wish to Inform You] should be on bookshelves forever."—Tom Engelhardt, The Philadelphia Inquirer
