First Kill Your Family
Take a look at “First Kill Your Family: Child Soldiers of Uganda and the Lord’s Resistance Army” – a new book by Peter Eichstaedt on child soldiers and the LRA. From Barnes and Noble:
In First Kill Your Family, veteran journalist Peter Eichstaedt goes into the war-torn villages and refugee camps, talking to former child soldiers, child “brides,” and other victims. [sic] This insightful analysis delves into the war’s foundations and argues that, much like Rwanda’s genocide, international intervention is needed to stop Africa’s virulent cycle of violence.
