About
"In 1994, an idealistic group of young rebels overthrew the brutal government in Kigali, ushering in an era of seeming stability and growth that made Rwanda the donor darling of the West, winning comparisons with Switzerland and Singapore. But the regime the young rebels put in place had its own sinister side. With vivid direct testimony from key participants, Wrong uses the story of the murder of Patrick Karegeya, once Rwanda's head of external intelligence and a quicksilver operator of supple charm, to explore the creation of a modern African dictatorship, fashioned in the chilling likeness of Paul Kagame, the president who sanctioned his former friend's assassination. What emerges is an unflinching portrait of ruthless power dependent on violence, intimidating, and surveillance, with worldwide reach and an elephantine memory for vengeance."--book jacket.
