1st edition. "Fifty years ago two men made their way on a motor-cycle combination southwards from Uganda into the little-known lands of Rwanda and Burundi. They were Christian missionaries, and their intention was to carry the Gospel to these small, land-locked kingdoms - densely populated by African standards, but almost completely undeveloped. This book...traces the 'Ruanda Mission' through a period of appalling famine and disease, through the fascinating days when the most enduring 'revival' of modern times fell on the church and its bewildered missionaries, through days of vicious civil war and heroic martyrdom, to the present time when all Africa is at the cross-roads."
