An Ordinary Man: An Autobiography


#454
Title: An Ordinary Man: An Autobiography
Authors: Paul Rusesabagina with Tom Zoellner
Publisher: Penguin
Year: 2006
Country: Rwanda
207 pages

Rusesabagina is the Hotel Rwanda man, and this is his account of his life and role in protecting people from the genocide. Rusesabagina describes village life during his childhood, his career in hotel work, and the events that erupted into warfare and slaughter. He sees his actions as an extension of his ethical responsibilities as a hotelier, which I liked very much.
