"Candid, haunted, and often shocking interviews with high-ranking generals and warlords who fought in Liberia's First Civil War form the core of this transfixing inquiry into Africa's modern history and the nature and essence of war itself. Identified by name, rank, and the number of years served with various military outfits, the testimonies of these men offer candid accounts of this brutal conflict. They describe life in their communities prior to the war, how they were drawn into it, what their days were like during this time, and justifications for their actions. Their haunting recollections are interspersed with snapshots of Liberia's streets and beautiful mangrove forests, and occasionally of stark and terrifying video footage from the war."--Container.
