"Presents two stories about the struggle in Congo, capturing first a decade of crises including the Tutsi genocide in neighboring Rwanda, the resulting flood of refugees, the irreparable damage to Congo's wildlife, and the depredations against native Congolese and Rwandan refugees by Rwandan Hutu raiders and others. Following this, the focus narrows to the town of Shabunda, where a Catholic priest attempts to help his traumatized flock deal with the rape and murder it endures."--Container.
