This is indeed a story of resilience and triumph, an account from an inspirational man whose views teaches the world to challenge evilness before it flourish. As Albert Einstein says "the world will not be destroyed by those who do evils but those who stands and do nothing about it".I read the Ladder to the Moon as soon as it was published, the author story is heroic: behind different faces there thousands extra ordinary experiences but in the world where he come from there is no space for such stories to be told. In fact, considering other lays of issues, it is not a necessity to tell those stories. But he also come from a world where violence is taken as everyday life and his people generally don't yet see the importance of writing such stories of communities.The book clearly conveys a human angle to the recent events in the Great Lakes Region of Africa, it shows that behind the shocking statistics that makes big headlines on DRC and Rwanda in the west, there real people and they belong to families and communities. For anyone wishing to break cycle of barriers to achieve, this book is a resilience manual: the author's difficult experiences were opportunities for better things, they were great stepping stones to greater experience.I highly recommend this book to everyone.
