On the tenth anniversary of the date that UN peacekeepers landed in Rwanda, Random House Canada is proud to publish the unforgettable first-hand account of the genocide by the man who led the UN mission. Digging deep into shattering memories, General Dallaire has written a powerful story of betrayal, naïveté, racism and international politics. His message is simple and undeniable: “Never again.” When Lt-Gen. Roméo Dallaire received the call to serve as force commander of the UN intervention in Rwanda in 1993, he thought he was heading off on a modest and straightforward peacekeeping mission. Thirteen months later he flew home from Africa, broken, disillusioned and suicidal, having witnessed the slaughter of 800,000 Rwandans in only a hundred days. In Shake Hands with the Devil, he takes the reader with him on a return voyage into the hell of Rwanda, vividly recreating the events the international community turned its back on. This book is an unsparing eyewitness account of the failure by humanity to stop the genocide, despite timely warnings. Woven through the story of this disastrous mission is Dallaire’s own journey from confident Cold Warrior, to devastated UN commander, to retired general engaged in a painful struggle to find a measure of peace, reconciliation and hope. This book is General Dallaire’s personal account of his conversion from a man certain of his worth and secure in his assumptions to a man conscious of his own weaknesses and failures and critical of the institutions he’d relied on. It might not sit easily with standard ideas of military leadership, but understanding what happened to General Dallaire and his mission to Rwanda is crucial to understanding the moral minefields our peacekeepers are forced to negotiate when we ask them to step into the world’s dirty wars. Excerpt from Shake Hands with the Devil My story is not a strictly military account nor a clinical, academic study of the breakdown of Rwanda. It is not a simplistic indictment of the many failures of the UN as a force for peace in the world. It is not a story of heroes and villains, although such a work could easily be written. This book is a cri de coeur for the slaughtered thousands, a tribute to the souls hacked apart by machetes because of their supposed difference from those who sought to hang on to power. . . . This book is the account of a few humans who were entrusted with the role of helping others taste the fruits of peace. Instead, we watched as the devil took control of paradise on earth and fed on the blood of the people we were supposed to protect.

'It's a little book of wonder, it's fantastic' Chris Evans 'A fabulously sparky, wide-ranging and horizon-broadening little study ... joyously unboring' Sunday Times Friends do it, strangers do it and so do chimpanzees - and it's not just deeply embedded in our history and culture, it may even be written in our DNA. The humble handshake, it turns out, has a rich and surprising history. So let's join palaeoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi as she embarks on a funny and fascinating voyage of discovery - from the handshake's origins (at least seven million years ago) all the way to its sudden disappearance in March 2020. Drawing on new research, anthropological insights and first-hand experience, she'll reveal how this most friendly of gestures has played a role in everything from meetings with uncontacted tribes to political assassinations - and what it tells us about the enduring power of human contact. Because the story of the handshake ... is far from over.

People often say that life is a battle, which must be conquered; that life is a challenge, which must be faced. Dada J P Vaswani's 'take' on life is different; life is the greatest gift bestowed on us, a gift which we must treasure and cherish. Dada's message in this slim, but powerful and inspiring volume is especially meant for the youth: make friends with life; make the most of this valuable gift. Frustration, failures, disappointments and set-backs are all part of the complex wave of life; they embellish life by making us wiser, stronger, more aware and more sensitive. They help us to evolve and grow in maturity and emotional strength. They also help to highlight the posi-tive aspects of life, which we often tend to lose sight of, or even take for granted. Let Dada show you, with his inimitable wit and wisdom, how to shake hands with life!

Happiness is about the choices we make. You can buy a quick lunch or simple dinner, or you can buy a book that can positively CHANGE YOUR LIFE! "SHWY" is changing lives and catching on as being the Guide that will give you the power to control your emotions by neutralizing negativity and tapping into your positive inner self. Doing so allows you to handle all the ups and downs that life brings your way. You CAN and WILL not only handle such challenges; but MOVE ON and enable yourself to enjoy your life and the lives of those around you! This book resonates with sound wisdom on all facets of life by beginning with a narrative that takes the reader on an engaging journey of self-discovery of how a little girl's tempestuous family dynamic served to bring out the very best in her natural skills as a positive person and born peacemaker. Throughout the next five decades, numerous hardships of health and devastating heartaches do not damper her happy, optimistic, and positive nature. For her, it was simply never an option, as life is a gift to be lived to the fullest! It is up to each and every one of us to fully understand the gratitude that ever so quickly can become taken for granted. We can complain and add to the chaos or we can LEARN and DO some very simple things that can change our way of thinking and thus change the way we react to the situations that currently threaten to push us over the edge of reason. The SHWY Philosophy was born out of the Author's indomitable spirit for all things positive and loving. Despite many trials and tribulations, her infectious happiness led the way to teaching others on how they too could overcome fear, frustration, anger, resentment, worry, unhappiness, grief, depression, and all other negative energy forces that, left uncontrolled, smother happiness and inner peace. With innovative techniques like "Positive Indifference," the Author helps bring out the happiness and inner peace that lie dormant within you as you regain your zest and vigor for LIFE! "Shake Hands with Yourself" is indeed, as its subtitle touts, "A Peacemaker's Guide to Happiness & Inner Peace." Happiness is there for the taking. It begins with you: understanding why you do the things you do so you can change those negative and self-destructive behaviors; and how to accept the things you cannot change about others and choose to either accept them as they are and/or use "positive indifference" as a method to completely neutralize their hold on you as an irritant. Life is so grand once you realize all the choices are yours when you first shake your own hand! Shake Hands with Yourself: A Peacemaker's Guide to Happiness & Inner Peace. This is The Guide you have been waiting for and wanting to gift to a LOT of your friends and family members who are struggling with so many of life's trials and tribulations. SHWY is as uplifting and motivating, as it is as honest with the pangs of grief and loss. Written from the heart via personal experiences that are engaging and inspirational, the Author's lifetime as a Peacemaker and problem solver has made this extraordinary Guide possible: it will bring out the Peacemaker in you! Beautifully written, as no other of its style and with heartfelt sincerity, SHWY is proving to change lives for the better. Teaching to neutralize the negative energy of others and yet remain friends. They won't even know what you've done ... but suddenly their lives begin to change as well. SHWY is a big hit with men and women alike. Readers pour their hearts out to the author with emails thanking her for "saving my marriage;" and "without you I would still be lost;" as well as "I cannot believe I am finally happy!" The thanks just keep pouring in... Do your part to help make the world a better place: one peacemaker at a time. Truly, YOU can make a difference! The SHWY Philosophy shows you the way in a most unique and engaging style. Goodreads Author, Facebook Author, Amazon BIO. ALL 5-Star Revi

Living and cooperating with people who differ from us is one of the most urgent challenges of society today. Yet, this demand is not new. For hundreds of thousands of years people have been grappling with this same quandy: How do we get along? In this clear-eyed and easy to read assessment, The Hands We Shake gives a brief chronicle of humanity's aptitude for cooperating with one another. Utilizing a wide-ranging variety of stories and thoughts from the past, the narrative moves through the layers of history eventually ending up with our present-day predicament. From the Stone Age to the computer age, this is a fascinating and relevant look at cooperation.The Hands We Shake illuminates the twists and turns, the quirks and peculiarities of humans in their efforts to get along. There remans in the human psyche a certain ease with which we stereotype people who are not 'like us.' This is a point of view that comes to us via the heritage of our evolution. It is also a trait we share with other great apes. In our modern era instead of moving past discord and exclusion, many are reverting back to entanglement in the wilds of tribalism.Whether cooperating on an individual level, a corporate level, a national, or and international level, the greatest prosperity comes as a reward for getting along with one another. There is no doubt this is the road we must take. In our present-day situation, there is an even more urgent need to find ways to cooperate as polarization grips our society.The Hands We Shake addresses the very nature of cooperation, why it has weakened, and how it might be strengthened. Understanding more of the history about the age-old skill of cooperation makes us better citizens as we learn to live more securely in our expanding and complex society.
