The fastest-moving genocide in modern times was horrifying for its intimacy: Killers and victims were neighbors, friends, fellow churchgoers, workmates, even spouses. Murderers did their \"work\" with crude implements--machetes, hoes, nail-studded clubs--and lists of those doomed to die. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis was the terrifying reality for Tharcisse Seminega, a Tutsi professor at the National University of Rwanda in Butare. He was specifically targeted for slaughter, along with his wife, Chantal, and five children, with all hope of escape cut off--until help arrived in the form of Hutu rescuers who repeatedly put themselves in mortal danger to save Seminega's family from the machetes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNo Greater Love\u003c\/i\u003e is the true story of unwavering courage and extraordinary love shown by ordinary people who offered a ray of hope during one of humanity's most horrific self-inflicted tragedies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Tharcisse Seminega was born in Kabirizi, Rwanda, in 1941, to a devout Catholic family.
