Understanding the Lord's Resistance Army Insurgency provides a
concise overview of the LRA, which has, for almost 30 years,
conducted untold atrocities across the central African nations of
Uganda, Southern Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and
the Central African Republic. This book examines the LRA's
emergence and evolution, the ideology, strategy and tactics behind
it, motivational aspects of its recruitment, its engagement in
peace processes, and a detailed description of leadership and group
dynamics. This work is based on a wide range of written sources and
extensive interviews with individuals intimately related to the
group including top LRA commanders, government sources, victims,
child soldiers, abductees and wives of Joseph Kony. Moving past
stories of unimaginable brutality, forced recruitment, and the
group's mystical belief system, the book provides a well-grounded
analysis of the different stages of the LRA's development. It
demonstrates how the group represents an obscure case study that
challenges many of the common assumptions about the operational
dynamics of terrorist organizations.Written to fill a gap in
academia in relation to African- and Christianity-based terrorism,
this book is suitable for students, researchers and practitioners
in political sciences, war, conflict and terrorism studies, African
politics and international relations and development.
