When the walking defeats you

one man's journey as Joseph Kony's bodyguard

"Deep in the Congo's Garamba National Park in the dead of night, Joseph Kony -- the notorious warlord wanted by the International Criminal Court -- made a shocking admission. Loosened by home-made wine, exposing a vulnerability he could never show the world, Kony looked George Omona in the eye, 'You need to know that if I had a choice I would not be doing this & I wish I could be a man of books, like you.' Three years earlier George was expelled from one of Uganda's best schools, just weeks before he was due to graduate with exemplary grades, destroying his dreams of becoming a teacher. In desperation, his uncle found him a role in Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). George's education and fluent command of English allowed him to rapidly rise through the ranks, eventually becoming one of Kony's bodyguards, before he finally made his escape. George's story -- based on many hours of interviews with acknowledged LRA expert Ledio Cakaj -- provides a vivid, personal and fascinating insight into the inner workings of the LRA, and the mind of Kony, its self-appointed prophet"--Publisher's description.
