books by Philip Gourevitch     books:       Standard Operating Procedure3 reviews Philip Gourevitch, Errol Morris Penguin Audio, 2008 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE = Standard reading For an American, this is an extremely upsetting book. Actually, for a human being, it is very upsetting, but we Americans have prided ourselves (or at least I was so raised) on being especially civilized, especially humane, and especially respectful of human rights and dignity. Once again, however, we are confronted with our baseness, our inhumanity, our hubris, and our hypocrisy. I had not ...             A Cold Case23 reviews Philip Gourevitch Picador, 2002 The power of brevity The most striking quality of this book to me is its brevity. "A Cold Case" is a first-rate example of a writer exercising immense discipline, self-control and deliberation with the craft. The book contains powerful character studies & strong sense of place.

In reading over this wonderful work that contains interviews with Borges, Parker, Hemingway, Capote, Eliot, as well as many other legends of literature and 20th century intellectual thought, the reader ...             We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families214 reviews FSG, 2007 Arrogance and Ignorance: How the World Failed Rwanda It's not easy to help other people, let alone other countries. Gourevitch's book shows us how the international "community" managed to misstep over and over again in Rwanda, making an already tragic situation even worse, first through its inaction and then through its misguided charity. What makes Gourevitch's thoroughly researched account of this tragedy so compelling is the way it focuses the ...             Auf Eis gelegt.
