heather_ann 's review for:
A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
by Ishmael Beah
Not a fun read, not an easy read, but a very important read. I learned an incredible amount about the repercussions of a failed state from this book; more so than I did during the entirety of my political science degree. For me, the take aways from this book expanded well beyond the tragedy of children serving in wars. It made me think a lot about human conflict in general, as well as the role of our government and the security we take for granted.
