Synopsis

Do Not Disturb is a dramatic recasting of the modern history of Africa’s Great Lakes region, an area blighted by the greatest genocide of the twentieth century. This bold retelling, vividly sourced by direct testimony from key participants, tears up the traditional script.

In the old version, an idealistic group of young rebels overthrows a genocidal regime in Kigali, ushering in an era of peace and stability that makes Rwanda the donor darling of the West, winning comparisons with Switzerland and Singapore. The new version examines afresh questions which dog the recent past: Why do so many ex-rebels scoff at official explanations of who fired the missile that killed the presidents of Rwanda and Burundi? Why didn’t the mass killings end when the rebels took control? Why did those same rebels, victory secured, turn so ruthlessly on one another?

Michela Wrong uses the story of Patrick Karegeya, once Rwanda’s head of external intelligence and a quicksilver operator of supple charm, to paint the portrait of a modern African dictatorship created in the chilling likeness of Paul Kagame, the president who sanctioned his former friend’s murder.

Reviews

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize:

”The whole world wanted to believe in the miracle that was Rwanda – a country built from the wreckage and devastation that intertribal violence and ethnic cleansing had caused. The whole world ignored the few voices pointing out the silencing of political opponents through imprisonment, kidnapping or torture. To our shame,
our need for Rwanda to succeed far exceeded our desire or ability to see the cost at which that success was bought. In this extremely important and profoundly disturbing book, Michela Wrong sets out all the miss-steps that were ignored, all the flagrant human rights abuses that were overlooked and all the criminality for which excuses were found, until the new horrors that have been visited upon that country were perpetrated. Ms Wrong is not suggesting we become Afro-pessimists, but telling us that not only is the price of freedom eternal vigilance, but also that we must, in the words of Amilcar Cabral, ‘tell no lies, claim no easy victories.”

John le Carré, author of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy:

“A withering assault on the murderous Rwandan regime of Paul Kagame, and a melancholy love song to the lost dreams of the nations of the Great Lakes. Michela Wrong proves once again that she is an intrepid and highly professional researcher of the subject she knows best. Very driven, very impassioned.”

Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold’s Ghost:

“Imagine a journalist of the 1930s brave enough to investigate one of the mysterious assassinations of Stalin’s opponents who had fled abroad—and to tell that story to a world where too many people were enamored of the Soviet leader. Michela Wrong has taken on a similar job today: to use a killing to expose a man today seldom recognized as a ruthless dictator. Her skills as a writer and expert knowledge of Africa make this a chilling story.”

Rene Lemarchand, author of Rwanda and Burundi:

“The author raises the curtain on a dystopian landscape too long ignored and left ‘undisturbed’ by too many observers. Through countless interviews with key actors, including the central figure in her narrative, Patrick Karegeya, the author paints a frightening picture of Rwanda as a police state with all the hallmarks of the Stalinist era, where opponents to the regime are not disappeared because they are guilty but whose disappearance is sufficient proof of their culpability. Refreshingly free of jargon, the book breaks important new ground in the literature on Rwanda, in lively and suspenseful prose. This is revisionist history at its best. I cannot recommend it too highly.”

Miles Tendi, author of The Army and Politics in Zimbabwe: Mujuru, the Liberation Fighter and Kingmaker:

”Michela Wrong takes her readers on an absorbing political journey, in which Rwandan comrades-in-arms Paul Kagame and Patrick Karegeya steadily mutate into lethal adversaries upon achieving power. The story has echoes of historic mortal political fallouts – Stalin and Trotsky, Sankara and Compaore, Robespierre and Danton, Mugabe and Mujuru – but more importantly, it draws our attention to the significant structural problems created by ex-military leaders’ participation in the building of post-war democracy and peace.”

Filip Reyntjens, author of Political Governance in Post-Genocide Rwanda:

“A unique insight into many hitherto little-known dark sides of a profoundly criminal regime. Based on first hand observations and numerous interviews with key players, victims and witnesses, this book is an indictment of those complicit in ensuring President Kagame’s impunity during the last quarter century.”

Jason Stearns author of Dancing in the Glory of Monsters: The Collapse of the Congo and the Great War of Africa:

”An intimate, clear-eyed chronicle of the violence and intrigue at the heart of Rwandan Patriotic Front’s history. This is perilous terrain; Wrong skillfully navigates amid myths and disinformation to splice together the stories of the men who came to rule Rwanda.”

Noel Twagiramungu, Director of the Leadership & Governance Policy Lab, Africa Center for Strategic Progress:

“In rich, searing prose, backed up by damning evidence and compelling anecdote, Michela Wrong exposes the sinister paradoxes of Kagame’s murderous “donor darling” regime. Her book lays out a roadmap for another collective ‘never again’ outcry yet to come.

Focussing on the happy beginning and tragic end of Patrick Karegeya — a spymaster strangled in a South African hotel room by a Mossad-like squad of operatives he helped establish — Do not Disturb is an insightful, scrupulous, stirring yet nuanced account of a reign of terror that set Rwanda and the whole African Great Lakes on fire, using four weapons of mass destruction: the cord, the hoe, the gun, the missile. Like Saturn, the regime is now devouring its children. This masterly investigative book should be widely read.”

Philippe Sands, author of The Ratline. Love, Lies and Justice on the Trail of a Nazi Fugitive:

“Extraordinary and utterly gripping, an excoriating work of immense courage and commitment, one that will surely make waves.”

Synopsis

British lawyer Paula Shackleton is mourning a lost love when a small man in a lemon-coloured suit accosts her over breakfast in a Boston hotel. When he’s not advising US companies on their shady foreign investments, Winston Peabody represents the African country of North Darrar, embroiled in a border arbitration case with its giant neighbour. Winston needs help with the hearings in The Hague, Paula needs to forget the past.

She flies to the highland capital determined to lose herself in work, but soon discovers that even jobs taken with the purest of intentions – making money – can involve squirm-inducing moral compromise. Taking testimony in scorching refugee camps, delving into North Darrar’s colonial past — all while fending off approaches from the CIA man in town — she becomes increasingly uneasy about her role as government attack dog. Budding friendships with Dawit, a scarred former rebel, and George, an idealistic young doctor, whittle away at her pose of sardonic indifference until, to her own surprise, Paula finds herself taking a step no decent lawyer should ever contemplate.

In this taut legal thriller, rich with the Horn of Africa’s colours, aromas and sensations, Michela Wrong probes the motives underlying Western engagement with the continent, questioning the value of universal justice and exploring how history itself is forged. But her first novel is above all the story of a distraught young woman’s anguished quest for redemption.

Reviews

Lindsey Hilsum, Channel Four news:

“I read Borderlines in a single sitting. Paula Shackleton is an anti-heroine for our times: clever, spiky, complex and flawed. Michela Wrong has gained a reputation as a fluid, perceptive writer of non-fiction – now she has added a twist of imagination to create a gripping novel.”

Iain Pears, author of “An Instance of the Fingerpost”:

“Borderlines is not only a compelling narrative, it is also a thoughtful investigation of the ambiguities inherent in Western engagement with Africa. Should we defend oppressive governments? Should we intervene in local disputes? Does the idea of justice have real meaning, or is it just a cover for deals between the powerful? Michela Wrong poses the questions in a stylish story, but Africa is no mere backdrop for Western angst. She brings the place and its characters to life in a novel which is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking.”

Lionel Shriver, author of “We Need to Talk About Kevin”:

“Few other writers could make a border dispute in the Hague have readers sitting on the edges of their chairs. And no other writer I know of is capable of making Africa seem just as accessibly screwed up as our own messy political back yards. “Borderlines” is beautifully written and tautly told. It helps to explain why refugees from the Horn are queuing for boats in Libya, and portrays the searing disappointment of fighting a liberation war for years only to be betrayed by your own side. That disappointment isn’t African; it’s universal.”

Synopsis

In January 2003, Kenya was hailed as a model of democracy after the peaceful election of its new president, Mwai Kibaki. By appointing respected longtime reformer John Githongo as anticorruption czar, the new government signalled its determination to end the corrupt practices that had tainted the previous regime. Yet only two years later, Githongo himself was on the run, having discovered that the new administration was ruthlessly pillaging public funds.

Under former President Moi, his Kalenjin tribesmen ate. “Now it’s our turn to eat,” politicians and civil servants close to the president told Githongo”. As a member of the government and the president’s own Kikuyu tribe, Githongo was expected to cooperate. But he refused to be bound by ethnic loyalty. Githongo had secretly compiled evidence of official malfeasance and, at great personal risk, made the painful choice to go public. The result was Kenya’s version of Watergate.

Michela Wrong’s account of how a pillar of the establishment turned whistle-blower, becoming simultaneously one of the most hated and admired men in Kenya, grips like a political thriller. At the same time, by exploring the factors that continue to blight Africa – ethnic favoritism, government corruption, and the smug complacency of Western donor nations – “It’s Our Turn to Eat” probes the very roots of the continent’s predicament. It is a story that no one concerned with our global future can afford to miss.

Reviews

“Long before their official launch, most books detach themselves from their authors. An editor calls to say the text has gone to the printers and no further changes are possible. You feel a pang of regret, tinged with relief. Like any anxious parent, you will do what you can to ease your creation’s passage through a hostile world, granting interviews, giving the odd speech, but essentially it must now fend for itself. Your attention shifts to the next project.”

– Author’s account of the book’s post-publication turbulent saga in Standpoint magazine, July/August 2009

“A book detailing a culture of corruption in Kenya is making booksellers and government officials uneasy, but for different reasons. The fear of reprisals is keeping sellers from stocking it, while top officials named in the book are threatening to sue for libel.”

CNN report on the book’s boycotting in Kenya, April 23, 2009

“I walked into the bookstore and spotted the owner behind the counter. We made eye contact and I moved toward him. With a quick glance around, I leaned in and said, in a self-conscious half-whisper: “That book that everyone wants — do you have it?”

The man shook his head. “Ahh, no more,” he said. “Too hot, bwana, too hot.”

Synopsis

Scarred by decades of conflict and occupation, the craggy African nation of Eritrea has weathered the world’s longest-running guerrilla war. The dogged determination that secured victory against Ethiopia, its giant neighbor, is woven into the national psyche, the product of cynical foreign interventions. Fascist Italy wanted Eritrea as the springboard for a new, racially pure Roman empire; Britain sold off its industry for scrap; the United States needed a base for its state-of-the-art spy station; and the Soviet Union used it as a pawn in a proxy war.

In I Didn’t Do It for You, Michela Wrong reveals the breathtaking abuses this tiny nation has suffered and, with a sharp eye for detail and a taste for the incongruous, tells the story of colonialism itself and how international power politics can play havoc with a country’s destiny.

“Contemporary history on the grand scale. I was entertained, informed and angered. Wrong has given us another essential contribution to the post-colonial scramble for Africa.” – John le Carre

“Vivid, penetrating, wonderfully detailed. Michela Wrong has written the biography of a nation and more — she has excavated the very heart and soul of the Eritrean people and their country.” – Aminatta Forna

“If you thought Eritrea was some exotic flower you heard mentioned on a gardening programme this book will tell you something different. It tells the tale of a small group of Africans so despised and trampled by successive foreign occupations that they fought back and after 30 years of war, they became a nation. It is an astounding story packed with tales of the worst — and the best — of human behaviour.” – Richard Dowden, President of the Royal African Society

“I found it engrossing, vividly written in the style of the best thrillers, while portraying real-life dramas and characters larger than life. It brought to life all the cruelties and distortions of the cold war in Africa, as seen from a helpless victim-country, with its stories of grotesque interventions by Americans and Russians and the excesses of the African leaders. But it’s also thoroughly well-informed, and I’ve read nothing that’s told me as much about either Eritrea or Ethiopia. It should become the standard work on the region.” – Anthony Sampson

Synopsis

Known as “the Leopard,” the president of Zaire for thirty-two years, Mobutu Sese Seko, showed all the cunning of his namesake — seducing Western powers, buying up the opposition, and dominating his people with a devastating combination of brutality and charm. While the population was pauperized, he plundered the country’s copper and diamond resources, downing pink champagne in his jungle palace like some modern-day reincarnation of Joseph Conrad’s crazed station manager.

Michela Wrong, a correspondent who witnessed Mobutu’s last days, traces the rise and fall of the idealistic young journalist who became the stereotype of an African despot. Engrossing, highly readable, and as funny as it is tragic, In the Footsteps of Mr. Kurtz assesses the acts of the villains and the heroes in this fascinating story of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Reviews

“This is the most gripping and illuminating book about Africa I have read for years, and it throws its light way beyond the borders of the Congo: not just to the neighbouring countries which are now competing for the spoils from the demoralised country, but to the wider problem of preventing the drift to corruption and tyranny in other parts of Africa.” – Anthony Sampson, Spectator.

“Michela Wrong… traveled widely in the country during the last years of Mobutu’s reign and was one of the few Western witnesses to his downfall. To stick it out in the capital, Kinshasa, must have demanded courage – and a strong sense of the absurd. She has written a cool, glittering, kaleidoscopic book. Her account of the fall of Kinshasa and Mobutu’s flight has something of the flavour of Evelyn Waugh’s African travel books.” – Thomas Pakenham, The Times.

“In the Footsteps of Mr Kurtz is an eloquent, brilliantly-researched account, and a remarkably sympathetic study of a tragic land which, for all its disadvantages, seethes with humour, passion, febrile energy and some of the best musical rhythms on the African continent.” – Jon Swain, Sunday Times.

“Michela Wrong’s (book) is not a one-dimensional, moralistic tale of a terrible dictator inflicted by the Cold War West on an innocent population – the kind of tale that apologists for Africa’s failure take comfort in. Ms Wrong has written a far more complex saga. She shows us a brilliant despot who used bribery to hold together a country that was never really a country and who was supported by the West for reasons at first justifiable and later not so. The result is a surgical insight into kleptocracy that challenges our assumptions of modernity.”– Robert D Kaplan, Wall St Journal.

“(A) chillingly amusing cautionary tale.”– Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post.

“Michela Wrong nimbly balances absurdity and outrage in her portrait of Mobutu Sese Seko and the wreckage he visited – with steady Western sponsorship – on the country he called Zaire. Her book is charged with pity and terror, and with the sort of sustaining humour that she rightly admires in Mobutu’s former subjects.”– Philip Gourevitch.

“Absorbing, witty and wrily observed… Ms Wrong’s book is filled with wonderful descriptive and narrative passages… A superb book.”– William Shawcross, Financial Times.
