Power Corrupts

War Criminal or Victim?

October 26, 2021·53 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

The International Criminal Court prosecutes perpetrators of horrific crimes. But what if the perpetrator is also a victim?   That's the question we explore this week, with the disturbing tale of a child soldier who was kidnapped into a militia, but then rose the ranks to become a senior commander.   After climbing the hierarchy, he began kidnapping more children and killing civilians. So, is he a victim, or is he a perpetrator? And is it possible to be both?   You can support our work here: Patreon.com/powercorrupts   And you can pre-order Brian's new book, Corruptible: Who Gets Power and How It Changes Us, here (or wherever you buy books):  https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Corruptible/Brian-Klaas/9781982154097   Follow us on social media:   Twitter - twitter.com/powrcorrupts Instagram - instagram.com/powercorruptspodcast
