Events in Rwanda from 1994 - the genocide of the Tutsi and the movements of Hutu refugees, and the role played in the crisis of the international community - make the central story of this book. They are seen through the eyes of survivors of the massacres and the refugee camps, aid workers, politicians, historians and journalists. The book also sets the story of Rwanda in the context of the history and experience of the whole continent of Africa. It shows that there is much more to Africa than usually appears in news reports, and it considers what they way forward for Africa could be.
