I'd also recommend "Aboke Girls: Children Abducted in Northern Uganda" by Els De Temmerman for a more visceral/immediate reading experience. Though the writing is a little rough, the story is focused and powerful. Chris,

Thanks for an excellent list. I’d also recommend “Aboke Girls: Children Abducted in Northern Uganda” by Els De Temmerman for a more visceral/immediate reading experience. Though the writing is a little rough, the story is focused and powerful.

For her honest reflection of her role as both a human rights advocate and researcher: Ehrenreich, Rosa (1998). “Ugandan Children and the LRA: The Stories We Must Tell” Africa Today 45 (1)

For understanding the context of the conflict: Bøås, Morten (2004): “Uganda in the Regional War Zone: Meta-Narratives Past and Present”. Journal of Contemporary African Studies 22.

Very interesting blog and work!

It's old, it's terribly eurocentric, and (if I were African) probably insulting as well.<br/><br/>Maybe I ought to give the book another chance, but there's too much good stuff out there to spend time on one man's journey up the river to find the crazed beast.

Matt was a correspondent for Reuters in Nairobi, and is now the Financial Times' guy in Lagos. I've not read the book, but it's getting good reviews. Best, Mike Pflanz (Daily Telegraph correspondent based in Nairobi).
