Deep in the Congo's Garamba National Park in the dead ofnight, Joseph Kony - the notorious warlord wanted by the International CriminalCourt - made a shocking admission. Loosened by home-made wine, exposing a vulnerabilityhe could never show the world, Kony looked George Omona in the eye, 'You needto know that if I had a choice I would not be doing this ... I wish I could bea man of books, like you.' Three years earlier George was expelled from one ofUganda's best schools, just weeks before he was due to graduate with exemplarygrades, destroying his dreams of becoming a teacher. In desperation, his unclefound him a role in Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). George's education andfluent command of English allowed him to rapidly rise through the ranks,eventually becoming one of Kony's bodyguards, before he finally made hisescape. George's story - based on many hours of interviews with acknowledgedLRA expert Ledio Cakaj - provides a vivid, personal and fascinating insightinto the inner workings of the LRA, and the mind of Kony, its self-appointedprophet.
