A noted expert provides a detailed, if chilling, examination of one
of the most brutal and long-lived insurgent groups in Africa:
Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army. Operating in four African
nations, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) routinely engages in
human rights violations that include mutilation, murder, mass-scale
abductions, and sex trafficking-and it has done so with seeming
impunity for more than 20 years. This timely book offers a concise,
expert analysis of Joseph Kony's terrorist organization, covering
its historical antecedents, membership, operations, and ideology,
as well as the ways in which it fits into a broader pattern of
insurgencies. To facilitate a full understanding of the threat
posed by the LRA, the author exposes the army's many atrocities,
among them forced recruitment of child soldiers. Central Africa's
ethnic, religious, and political tensions are examined, as is the
corruption that feeds LRA operations. Finally, regional security
measures, international responses, and issues related to the LRA
and the International Criminal Court are examined in full. Analyzes
the Lord's Resistance Army's background, ideology, and operations
Assesses how the LRA's ideology and operations compare with other
armed movements Describes various efforts to contain or end the
group Describes the larger societal and political factors that can
give rise to such groups, providing context for those interested in
the overall security situation in East Africa
