Taking readers into the heart of African genocide, Koigi wa Wamwere confronts the sheer terror of ethnic cleansing and Africa. Himself a veteran of decades of ethnic violence in Kenya, he both describes what he has seen, and recounts the stories of horror that others have told him in places such as Rwanda, Sudan, Liberia, Nigeria, Algeria, Uganda, Burundi, Angola, Somalia, Sierra Leone and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Never has this problem been explained - and denounced - with such insider's detail, offering a crucial first step toward an international solution.
