To Stop a Warlord
One Woman's Mission to End Africa's Longest War
About This Book
Pursuing Justice Against Joseph Kony (2019) chronicles an extraordinary undertaking: the effort to capture Joseph Kony, commander of the Lord's Resistance Army and one of history's most wanted war criminals. Drawing on deep knowledge of Africa's most enduring armed conflict, this narrative reveals how Shannon Sedgwick Davis forged an unprecedented partnership among private donors, Uganda's armed forces, and a battle-hardened South African military contractor to confront Kony's network spanning four nations. Though the mission fell short of its ultimate goal of delivering Kony to trial, it succeeded in weakening his forces and protecting countless innocent lives.
