Summary

The LRA's insurgency in Uganda has been ongoing in various forms since 1987, with an enormous cost in human life; but many of us know very little about the conflict. Boy Soldier is a startling testimony from this forgotten war. Although it covers some of the most brutal events in recent history, Norman's is also a story of forgiveness and redemption: he is now a family man who runs his own farm and works for the public good as a civil servant.Theo Hollander is a peacebuilding professional with over ten years of experience. He spent several months with Norman in Uganda, helping him to come to terms with and tell his story. For fans of A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah, War Child by Emmanuel Jal.
Available since: 01/21/2021.

    An illuminating and witty dialogue with one of the greatest intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Ramin Jahanbegloo's interview with Isaiah Berlin grew into a series of five conversations which offer an intimate view of Berlin and his ideas. They include discussions on pluralism and liberty as well as the thinkers and writers who influenced Berlin. This revised edition provided an excellent introduction to Berlin's thought. Ramin Jahanbegloo is an Iranian philosopher, who has taught in Europe and North America. In 2006 he was imprisoned for several months in Iran. He is currently teaching Political Philosophy at Toronto University. 'Though like Our Lord and Socrates he does not publish much, he thinks and says a great deal and has had an enormous influence on our times'. Maurice Bowra 'Berlin never talks down to the interviewer. Conversations here means the minds of the interviewed and interviewer meet on equal terms in language that is transparently clear, informed, witty and entertaining'. Stephen Spender 'He is wise without seeming pompous, witty without seeming trivial, affectionate without seeming sentimental'. Michael Ignatieff 'Isaiah Berlin... has for fifty years in this talkative and quarrelsome city (Oxford) been something special, admired by all and disliked by no-one... a benevolent super-don'.
