From Bloodshed to Hope in Burundi: Our Embassy Years During Genocide
Highly recommended - though I've read a few other books on Burundi, they have focused on political elites, or the country from a distant, removed perspective, so none have given me a sense of what the conflict was like on the ground. So I found this book fascinating, and though it only touches on a few events that the Ambassador witnessed, those were highly informative and even page turning.
But it is also the tale of a US Ambassador that does his job like I once imagined it was possible - really trying to make use of his position to influence events for the better, even at personal risk to himself.
