One Thousand Hills

Stephen Kinzer is a journalist who has travelled in over 50 countries on five continents and has written a book by the same title about President Paul Kagame's rise to power in Rwanda. For those of you who saw the movie Hotel Rwanda, the book picks up where the movie left off and begins with the French occupation in the early 1980s. This is more than a book about genocide. This is a must read for those who want to see what a tiny African nation can do with true grit, leadership, and forgiveness.
