Uganda's civil war with Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army has
raged since the 1980s, claiming over 100,000 lives and displacing
around 1.5 million people. Kony's rebel force, who combine
religious mysticism with extreme brutality, have abducted tens of
thousands of children: their child soldiers. Their insurgency
continues to this day, though most of us know little about it.
Norman Okello was only twelve when he was abducted by the LRA. In
captivity, he was subjected to a ruthless training regime aimed at
turning him into a killing machine free from conscience and fear.
Forced to commit unspeakable acts of violence, Norman struggled not
just to stay alive but to hold on to the last shreds of his
humanity. When he finally escaped the clutches of the LRA, he faced
his next ordeal: trying to reintegrate into a society that feared
and despised him. Harrowing, heart-rending and enlightening in
equal measure, Boy Soldier is above all a story of survival and
redemption against unbelievable odds.
