Evelyn Amony provides penetrating insights into one of the most notorious yet least understood armed groups, the Lord s Resistance Army. This is an invaluable account of what a woman experienced during years in captivity and, after escaping, her struggle to regain her humanity and agency. Essential reading for anyone studying armed opposition groups, women and war, transitional justice, and recovery. Dyan Mazurana, Tufts University
