I'm Not Leaving. By Carl Wilkens.
Rwanda through the eyes of the only American to remain in the country through the 1994 genocide.
To tell the complete story of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda is impossible. Some parts of the story have already been told, and there are still many parts to be told. This book is an attempt to give the world a look at the people living in Kigali during this extraordinarily brutal and violent time, a look through the eyes of a young American who was living there with his wife and small children–a look through my eyes.
While the stories written here happened during the genocide, this book is not about genocide. It is about choices people made, actions people took, courage people showed, and sacrifices people gave in the face of genocide.
