本文探讨了1981年至1986年之间在乌干达中部的全国抵抗组织At-my和米尔顿奥博特政府的游击队之间的内战。它的中心焦点是游击队员的战时经历，男人，女人和儿童。文章的材料是通过采访参与者的经历收集的。采访伙伴描述了他们作为游击队员的动机和期望，以及他们对“丛林中”战争现实的看法。他们的叙述不同于胜利的游击队的官方战争史和在这段历史中培养的游击队神话，因为他们缺乏随后胜利的确定性，并强调战士的失望和痛苦。这样，口述历史的方法为这场战争的社会史提供了重要的出发点，同时也使我们能够以重要的方式区分和纠正我们目前对这场战争的理解。
This article examines the civil war in central Uganda between guerrillas of the National Resistance At-my and the government of Milton Obote between 1981 and 1986. Its central focus is the wartime experience of guerrilla fighters men, women, and children. The material for the article has been collected through interviews with participants about their experiences. The inter-view partners described their motives and expectations as guerrillas as well as their perception of the reality of war "in the bush". Their narratives differ from the victorious guerrilla's official history of the war and the guerrilla myth cultivated in that history, as they lack the subsequent certainty of victory and emphasize the fighters' disappointments and suffering. In this way, the method of oral history provides important points of departure for a social history of this war and allows us, at the same time, to differentiate and correct our current understanding of it in significant ways.
