A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah

5.0

---

Heart-wrenching story of a child thrust into the reality of war. Kidnapped by soldiers, terrified, tortured, conditioned to be a killer. Separated from his family and friends, and forced into choices no child should have to make. Told matter-of-factly as he remembers it, this is Ishmael's own story.
