Stolen Angels - The Kidnapped Girls of Uganda
 
 
 
    Using searing first-hand accounts, award-winning Canadian journalist Kathy Cook uncovers the horrific life of child sex slaves and soldiers in Uganda’s Lord’s Resistance Army. Stolen Angels tells the story of 30 Ugandan schoolgirls who were abducted in October 1996 by Joseph Kony, the LRA leader who has been indicted for war crimes by the international criminal court. They became child soldiers and sex slaves—pawns in a forgotten African war. A heroic group of mothers and interfaith clerics waged a crusade to rescue them.
