Opis

The incredible true story of Chucky Taylor, the only American ever convicted of torture.
Chucky Taylor was an average American teenager, until he got a call from his father, a man who would become the infamous dictator of Liberia. Arriving in West Africa and reunited with his father, Chucky soon found himself leading a murderous militia group tasked with carrying out the president s vendettas. Young and drunk on power, and with no real training beyond watching action films, Chucky spiraled into a binge of drugs, violence, and women, committing crimes that stunned even his father. A work of astonishing journalism, American Warlordis the true story of those dark years in Liberia, cutting right to the bone of humanity s terrifying and unknowable capacity for cruelty to show just how easily a soul can be lost amid the chaos of war."
