[Tracy Kidder]'s recounting of [Deo]'s life in New York, and later in Boston, is compelling. One assumes Kidder has read Ishmael Beah's powerful memoir of being a boy soldier in Sierra Leone, Long Way Gone, and perhaps even Canadian Gen. Romeo Dallaire's account of his time in Rwanda, Shake Hands With the Devil. Kidder's use of the almighty "I" works well, and is entirely appropriate, near book's end, when in June 2006 he accompanied Deo back to a post-genocide, but still dangerous and lawless, Burundi.

Only a few miles away and a few months earlier, an extensive war had raged in neighbouring Rwanda. Tutsis and moderate Hutus fled from a Hutu army, militia and their own neighbors, who, aiming to destroy all "cockroaches," killed 800,000 countrymen in three months. Hundreds fleeing genocidal attackers sought shelter in Hotel Mille Collines, where manager Paul Rusesabagina protected them from death. His story is now familiar from the 2004 Oscar-nominated movie Hotel Rwanda and his autobiography, An Ordinary Man. In 2004, however, the fame of Hotel Rwanda provided a platform to protest the new injustice in Rwanda. Rusesabagina's list of offences is long, his outrage strong. In recent meetings with U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other Congress members, he made the following...

Since learning about the Rwandan genocide, said student Marie-Eve Fontaine, "I've been really conscious of how I treat people. I want to help out any way I can -- this is more than I could ask for. I haven't been to school for six years," she said. "I really love the school. I want to tell new immigrants -- love is here, sharing is here." Student Khelia Ntamwishimiro, a refugee from Burundi, said the students have held fundraisers, and plan an African evening with food and entertainment. "Madame [Nicole Pageau] sent us crafts the widows are making -- their goal is to be self-sufficient," she said.
