Receive Rat Roads Developed By Jacques Pauw Volume

Gihana has led an extraordinary life and Rat Roads tells his story with brutal honesty, At an early age, Kennedy is challenged more than children should be, but in that sense his story is probably not unique in Africa.
What makes him a remarkable man are his decisions and perseverance despite tremendous adversery,

Jacques Pauw manages to tell the story of Rwanda's genocide with sincerity and compassion for both victims and perpetrators.
Some harrowing and downright horrifying descriptions of the bloodshed in the Great Lakes brought me to tears.
How can humans do such things to one another And how could anyone live past the trauma of their experiences Yet, Kennedy's beliefs and unrelenting determination to achieve his goals are nothing short of aweinspiring.


Kennedy's personal experiences are well balanced with facts and historical accounts of thegenocide and the events and circumstances surrounding it.
It's not an easy or fun read, but an important and balanced piece of investigative journalism, It was okay nothing as inspiring or horrific as Dances with Devils or Little Ice Cream Boy.
Pauw rehashes a lot of his Rwandan experiences in the new book, The final few chapters also seemed a bit soppy, Brilliant a real page turner, Interesting read it's the first time I have fully enjoyed reading a book full of history, A really fascinating book which opened my eyes to the genocide in Rwanda, about which I had only the haziest view before.
Makes one think about how ones environment affects ones behaviour, South Africa is reading "The President's Keepers" as I type this Jacques Pauw's courageous investigation into the extensive corruption of the ANC's leader, Jacob Zuma.
I started Rat Roads, published in, at roughly the same time the State Security Agency threatened to ban Pauw's latest book.
I will certainly read "The President's Keeper," partly because Jacques Pauw is such an exceptional writer, Rat Roads deserves every star I have given it and more, There are so many reasons to read this book, including paying tribute to a man, Kennedy Gihana, who did much more than defy the odds in order to survive and prosper.
It's also a balanced picture of what happened in the lead up to the Rwandan genocide and all the nefarious acts of murder and human rights abuses committed by that darling of the West, Paul Kagame.
There was a time when Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe got away with murder in much the same way.
Bravo. One of the best books I have ever read, I read a lot. A thorough,impartial and unforgiving look into the life and historical commence of what culminated of what we now know as the Rwanda Genocide.
This book will squeeze every emotion from the reader, from moments of

intense sorrow, hate, disgust to moments of hope and forgiveness.
A story well told of what the human can endure and still stand to conquer the day.
A brilliant piece of investigative writing by one of the country's foremost investigative journalists, Jacques Pauw, He tells the story of Kennedy, a Rwandan who participated in the liberation of his country from the genocidaires, committing his own atrocities along the way.
The story of Kennedy's life as a brutal soldier of liberation and his subsequent disillusionment andkm trek to South Africa is compulsive reading.
But what makes this book great is the strength and maturity of the author, who never flinches from revealing his subject's dark side with honesty, despite being dependent on him for the story.
The book tells a human story, but also tells the tragic story of Rwanda and its cycles of ethnic genocide with an historian's eye.
