My roots are buried here -- Hiding in plain sight -- The Bush war -- On to Kampala -- Band of brothers -- Exodus -- The Gun. The genocide and its aftermath -- The best president Rwanda never had -- I was James Bond -- We have accepted to be dogs -- Spoils of war -- The man is an emperor -- The missile. The plane and other secrets -- Do not disturb -- Song of the stool pigeon -- The inquest -- Regret is an understatement "Following the Rwandan genocide, an idealistic group of young rebels overthrew the brutal regime in Kigali, ushering in an era of peace and stability that made Rwanda the donor darling of the West, winning comparisons with Switzerland and Singapore. But the truth was considerably more sinister. Vividly sourcing her story with direct testimony from key participants, Wrong uses the story of the murder of Patrick Karegeya, once Rwanda's head of external intelligence and a quicksilver operator of supple charm, to paint the portrait of a modern African dictatorship created in the chilling likeness of Paul Kagame, the president who sanctioned his former friend's assassination."-- |
