This gripping true crime narrative follows Chucky Taylor, an ordinary American teenager whose life is upended when his estranged father, warlord Charles Taylor, pulls him into Liberia's brutal civil war and appoints him head of a violent secret police unit. Journalist Johnny Dwyer spent over five years investigating Chucky's descent into chaos, drawing on interviews with victims, declassified documents, and his subject himself to expose how a suburban kid became complicit in atrocities during one of Africa's most devastating conflicts. Readers seeking a haunting exploration of how ordinary people commit extraordinary violence will find this meticulously researched account both compelling and deeply unsettling.
