A sweeping portrait of contemporary Africa by one of Europe's most exciting and talked-about journalists, The Night Wanderers describes Uganda in the aftermath of a civil war that destroyed the country and in which children were the main agents of destruction. The Lord's Resistance Army abducts children from their homes, forcing them to kill family members and enter a brutal life of guerilla warfare. Jagielski inserts himself into the hellish landscape and finds a way to speak of these children and their wounded world.
