A new book from the award winning author of In the Footsteps of Mr Kurtz , Do Not Disturb explores the controversial career of Paul Kagame and the legacy of the Rwandan genocide Do Not Disturb is a dramatic recasting of the modern history of Africa''s Great Lakes region, an area blighted by the greatestgenocide of the twentieth century. This bold retelling, vividly sourced by direct testimony from key participants, tears up thetraditional script. In the old version, an idealistic group of young rebels overthrows a genocidal regime in Kigali, ushering in an era of peaceand stability that makes Rwanda the donor darling of the West, winning comparisons with Switzerland and Singapore. Thenew version examines afresh questions which dog the recent past: Why do so many ex-rebels scoff at official explanations of who fired the missile that killed the presidents of Rwanda and Burundi? Why didn''t the mass killings end when the rebelstook control? Why did those same rebels, victory secured, turn so ruthlessly on one another? Michela Wrong uses the story 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 whosanctioned his former friend''s murder.
