A Thousand Hills : Rwanda's Rebirth and the Man Who Dreamed It

How has Rwanda emerged from war and genocide to stability and emerging prosperity in such a short period of time? Journalist Kinzer suggests that the answer to that question lies in the personage of one man: President Paul Kagame. He reconstructs the recent history of Rwanda, placing Kagame, the one-time Rwandan refugee who came to lead the Rwandan Patriotic Front against the genocidal government of Jean Kambanda and eventually rose to the presidency of his country, at the heart of the story.
