'A useful, balanced and wide-ranging contribution to our understanding of current developments in a country that continues to provoke heated debate between believers and non-believers.' - Filip Reyntjens, Professor of Law and Politics, Institute of Development Policy and Management (IOB), University of Antwerp, Belgium

'This is a complicated book about a complicated country. It goes beyond the usual polarisation of commentary on Rwanda, which pits the cynical against the starry-eyed, to explore the complex intersections of political and military power, ambitious government policy, regional conflict, shifting national and sub-national identities and vast economic opportunities. I found myself disagreeing with as much of the analysis as I agreed with - a testament to the diversity and subtleties of the authors' perspectives.' - Phil Clarke, Lecturer in Comparative and International Politics, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK
