The politics of Africa remain for most people a complete mystery. Green, a reporter, spent six months in East Africa trying to understand the roots of the ongoing Ugandan Civil War and particularly the character of Joseph Kony, reputed to me a prophet, a freedom fighter, a terrorist and mass murderer. This is Green's personal account of the journey, the people he met and what he saw. His subjectivity is built in to this fact but his reporter's eye helps him to step back and evaluate his experiences. This is a valuable contribution to a complex and important subject.
