The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind

Amazing what a boy, a library book, and some ingenuity can achieve.




At nineteen, William's English was limited.


Four years later, William's English is good enough to jest with Jon.

William with Bryan Mealer

In 1996, the fighting in Rwanda spilled over the Congolese border, sparking a conflict that would eventually claim more lives than any other since the Second World War. Based on Mealer’s three years in Congo, All Things Must Fight to Live is an unforgettable tour through the aftermath of war and colonialism, in a country that is still the site of the greatest humanitarian catastrophe on earth. It is nonfiction at its finest: harrowing, gorgeous, and in the end redemptive.
