Advance Praise for "A Thousand Hills"

"What a fascinating tale! What an inspiration! The courage and triumph of Paul Kagame show the beauty of reconciliation and of transcendent leadership. The world needs to learn his lessons, and Stephen Kinzer's brilliant narrative will help make this enlightenment possible."
--Walter Isaacson, CEO, the Aspen Institute

"A fascinating account of the near-miracle unfolding before our very eyes: a country, Rwanda, rising from the ashes of genocide phoenix-like, and its President, Paul Kagame, who is making it happen. This is no hagiography, for he is depicted warts and all. . . . A very good read."
--Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Praise for Overthrow

"Kinzer's narrative abounds with unusual anecdotes, vivid description, and fine detail, demonstrating why he ranks among the best in popular foreign policy storytelling."
--"Washington Post Book World"

"A jewel."
--Chalmers Johnson

Praise for "All the Shah's Men"

"A thrilling tale that pits two characters worthy of a movie against each other."
--"The Economist"

"A very gripping read. . . . A cautionary tale for our current leaders."
--"The New York Times"
