Opis

In Uganda, East Africa, a region long controlled by Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army, leaders of Catholic, Protestant, and Muslim communities overcame centuries of mistrust to work together for peace. Drawing on a rich collection of personal interviews, David Hoekema recounts the courageous work of the Acholi Religious Leaders' Peace Initiative to resolve the conflict and rebuild communities.
