Long Way Gone: Memoirs Of A Boy Soldier

Synopsis

Unforgettable testimony that Africa's children . . . have eyes to see and voices to tell what has happened. And what voices! . . . No outsider could have written this book, and it's hard to imagine that many insiders could do so with such acute vision, stark language, and tenderness. It is a heart-rending achievement. -Melissa Fay Greene, "Elle."
