In August 1986, Alice Auma, a young Acholi woman in northern
Uganda, proclaiming herself under the orders of a Christian spirit,
raised an army called the 'Holy Spirit Mobile Forces' and with it
waged a war, not only against the National Resistance Army of the
government but also against internal enemies in the form of
'impure' soldiers, witches and sorcerers. She came close to her
goal of overthrowing the government but was defeated and fled to
Kenya. This book gives an account of the movement from within,
based on interviews with and writings of its members, and concludes
with an account of the successor movements into which Alice's
forces fragmented, including the 'Lord's Resistance Army', actively
involved in the civil wars of the Sudan and Uganda. North America:
