- Summary
- "In 1996, the fighting in Rwanda spilled over the Congolese border, sparking a conflict that would eventually claim more lives than any other since the Second World War. In the course of his three years as a reporter in Congo, Bryan Mealer was the witness - often the only witness - to almost unimaginable scenes: entire cities laid waste by teenage gunboys with machetes and ball gowns; an obsessed UN commander locked in a fight with a shadowy militia leader named Cobra Matata; local heroes who resurrected a defunct rail line to ferry supplies to war-choked villages." "Staying in Kinshasa and Bunia and traveling with the war, Mealer immersed himself in Congolese life - a turbulent and often terrifying existence. But every time he tried to leave for him and his wife, he found himself drawn back, absorbed into the cycle of destruction and hope in Africa's most troubled state. Eventually, he set out from the urban flight zones he covered to take a two-thousand-mile journey through the wild backcountry by barge and train, searching for signs of renewal."--BOOK JACKET
