Dallaire, a retired lieutenant-general in the Canadian Army, as he discusses his personal experience with reintegration and mental health challenges after returning from his role as force commander in the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda.
He has written about his experiences in Rwanda in Shake Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda, and was awarded the Governor General's Literary Award for Non-Fiction in 2004. Senator Dallaire has experienced various challenges with reintegration upon his return from Rwanda and strives to bring awareness and understanding of post-traumatic stress disorder to the general public.
