Summary

"Many people are only familiar with Rwanda through the lens of the genocide that took place in this country in 1994 that made international headlines. However, that tragic chapter in the nation's history isn't the whole story of life in Rwanda. Readers are able to gain a clearer understanding of the Rwandan genocide as well as other pivotal moments that shaped this African country into what it is today. They're introduced to the natural wonders, arts, and people who fill its borders through detailed text, full-color photographs, and engaging features such as recipes and maps"--
