A Long Way Gone

Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
Dec 13, 2017spl_merley rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
This is a must read with some qualifiers: be prepared to get out of your head and discover conflict from another point of view; and be ready to experience loss, fear, shame and guilt in the story of a survivor, a perpetrator and a child. From the vantage point of having survived life as a boy soldier Beah provides us with a compassionate telling of a brutal story.
