Recenzii
'Read this book. It will humble and inspire you'
'Part memoir, part polemic, part social history, An Ordinary Man is a deeply impressive work that pays fitting tribute to the 800,000 who lost their lives'
'He recounts the ordeal with a narrative tension worthy of a superior thriller, and the passages on the build-up to the genocide are particularly compelling ... it is quite as harrowing as you'd expect'
'A fascinating book ... by an ordinary man, about ordinary people, the kind of daring it takes to survive, and most of all the courage it takes to endure'
