An Ordinary Man: An Autobiography

Paul Rusesabagina details his life as the manager of Hôtel des Mille Collines in Kigali, where he used diplomacy, flattery, and deception to protect over 1,200 Tutsi and Hutu moderate refugees from genocidal militias during Rwanda's 1994 genocide.

The book explores his background, the historical context of Hutu-Tutsi conflict fueled by colonial legacies, and his pragmatic efforts to maintain humanity amid horror.

Note that Rusesabagina's account has faced criticism in other works like Inside the Hotel Rwanda for alleged profiteering and political sympathies.
