* ""…tells a remarkable tale about a remarkable man."" ( The Economist , August 21, 2008) Kinzer ( All the Shah's Men ) has penned a hagiographic account of Rwandan president Paul Kagame, the Tutsi refugee who organized the Rwandan Military Front in 1994 and helped halt the genocide in Rwanda. Instead of settling scores, Kagame embarked on a program of reconciliation and reconstruction; Kinzer eloquently describes a physical and psychological recovery unmatched in Africa: a Rwanda whose people are ""bubbling with a sense of unlimited possibility."" Kagame's goal, modeled on the successes of ""Asian tigers"" like Singapore, aims to transform Rwanda into the continent's first middle-income country in a single generation, eschewing foreign aid in favor of reliance on business-driven development. Kinzer does not conceal the bloody realities behind Kagame's acquisition of power nor does he deny Kagame's ""rigorous, absolutist approach to governing."" Nevertheless, he is transparently trusting in Kagame's capabilities and intentions, and while his eloquent prose invites optimism, a half-century of experience urges caution.

"(June)" ("Publishers Weekly," April 21, 2008), Advance Praise for A Thousand Hills "What a fascinating tale! What an inspiration! The courage and triumph of Paul Kagame show the beauty of reconciliation and of transcendent leadership. The world needs to learn his lessons, and Stephen Kinzer's brilliant narrative will help make this enlightenment possible." --Walter Isaacson, CEO, the Aspen Institute "A fascinating account of the near-miracle unfolding before our very eyes: a country, Rwanda, rising from the ashes of genocide phoenix-like, and its President, Paul Kagame, who is making it happen. This is no hagiography, for he is depicted warts and all. . . . A very good read." --Archbishop Desmond Tutu, * "…tells a remarkable tale about a remarkable man."
