Nolte did not come off as a boozer or a bad guy. In fact, I liked his character. He fought as hard as he could for a man in his position to do the right thing. He placed himself in harm's way to save lives and he felt horrible when he couldn't do more and guilty because the western nations he represented refused to help.

I haven't seen the movie b/c I've read so much about the genocide that I'm worried the movie will show it as less horrific than it was. The best book I've ever read was:
We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will be Killed With Our Families: Stories from Rwanda Not a happy book but astonishing. That not many people know what occurred there is very telling. A massacre of Swedes against one another would have generated much more interest among Americans.
