The Wizard of the Nile

"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. Joseph Kony is now an official enemy of the US and wanted in Europe for war crimes, and yet nobody really knows who he is or what he is fighting for." "Intrigued by the myths, Matthew Green heads off into a war zone, determined to track down the man himself. Along the way, he meets the victims abducted, raped or maimed by Kony's soldiers, the refugees living in poverty and fear in overcrowded camps, the foreigners trying or bring peace to this desperately divided land, and the political leaders who have their own reasons for allowing the war to shudder on."--BOOK JACKET.
