RWANDA: THE LAND GOD FORGOT?
By Meg Guillebaud
Monarch Books. 368 pages. £8.99
ISBN 1 85424 576 7

The multi-national continent of Africa with its kaleidoscopic culture is seldom out of the news, usually for the saddest of reasons. The central-eastern African country of Rwanda is no exception, and is the main focus of this personal account of its more recent history.

As might be expected, it covers the church revival that started around 1930 and was followed by a second wave in 1969. The tragic genocide, which shocked the world in more recent times, is also reported, with an attempt to examine the connection between these two contrasting phenomena.
