核心要点
A Bartender's Weapon Against Genocide
April 6, 1994: A missile streaks through the Rwandan sky, bringing down a presidential jet. Within hours, machetes emerge from hiding places across the country. Roadblocks spring up like weeds. Radio announcers begin their deadly work, instructing listeners in cheerful voices to "cut down the tall trees." And in the chaos, a hotel manager clutches his most powerful weapon-not a gun, but a black leather phone directory and cases of Belgian beer. Paul Rusesabagina's story defies Hollywood's vision of heroism. There are no dramatic shootouts, no daring escapes through jungles. Instead, there's something far more unsettling: a man in a business suit negotiating the price of human lives over glasses of Johnny Walker, flattering killers with blood on their boots, turning a luxury hotel into a fragile island of sanity in an ocean of madness. Over seventy-six days, he sheltered 1,268 people using nothing more than words, whiskey, and an unshakable belief in the power of hospitality. His account forces us to confront an uncomfortable truth: civilization is thinner than we imagine, and its defense sometimes requires making deals with the devil himself.
