For the last twenty-two years, the nightmare has begun at sundown in Acholidand, Northern Uganda. Under the cover of darkness, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) has kidnapped, enslaved, raped, and forcibly conscripted more than 20,000 children, some as young as six years old. Survivors finally give voice to atrocities suffered and performed. At great personal risk, rebel commanders, elders, teachers, social workers, and the children themselves reveal what has been hidden from the world.
