An Ordinary Man: An Autobiography

Rusesabagina housed twelve hundred Tutsi and moderate Hutu in the Hotel des Mille Collines during the genocide, bribing and bluffing the killers. He is careful not to make himself a hero — an ordinary man doing what an ordinary man could do. The book's quiet power is in its insistence that the same capacity for action existed in many people who chose differently. The killers were also ordinary men.
