A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
by Ishmael Beah
The story of child soldiers in Africa is not a 'nice' story, Beah describes terrible violence that is committed around him and by him.
The story follows Beah from his home village in Sierra Leone, to his time as a child soldier, to his rescue by UNICEF. His story is a story of a child stripped of all humanity. The story is remarkable (and some have disputed that it is not entirely accurate), but it's a glimpse into a world that most people cannot even imagine.
The story is told simply and in a straight forward way, but I don't imagine that it needs to be embellished much.
