Synopsis
Somewhere in the jungles of Uganda, there hides a fugitive rebel-leader: he is said to take his orders direct from the spirit world and, together with his ragged army of brutalised child soldiers, he has left a bloody trail of devastation across his country. Intrigued by the myths, Matthew green heads off into the war zone, meeting the victims, the peacemakers and the regional prowerbrokers, as he tracks down the man himself.

Bob Geldof 'A penetrating insight into the heart of one of the worst conflicts in the world' Jon Snow 'Green leads the reader into another world - of myth and magic, faith and superstition - as he tries to understand his quarry - a remarkable tale, vividly told.' Michael Holman
