Reviews
""Rene Lemarchand is in the unusual position of having met, shared meals and argued with many of the players who have shaped the violence-spattered, atrocity-strewn history of the Great Lakes: experiences younger analysts can only envy. In this book he looks back on his long career and places the region’s developments and actors in their rightful context, highlighting in particular the dangers of examining Rwanda and Burundi in isolation from one another. His eye is shrewd and acute, his delivery wry, sometimes humorous -- no mean feat, given the often grim material. The result is both refreshingly readable and deeply insightful. An opinionated take from a man who has more than won the right to his opinions.” Michela Wrong, author of “In the Footsteps of Mr Kurtz” and “It’s Our Turn to Eat”.
