A long way gone by ishmael Beah

A twelve-year-old flees rebel attacks across Sierra Leone, only to be conscripted by government forces into the very war that destroyed his childhood. After rebel forces destroy his village, twelve-year-old Ishmael wanders a starving, violent countryside for months trying to survive, before he and other displaced boys are picked up by the Sierra Leone Army and turned into child soldiers themselves, fed drugs and propaganda until killing becomes routine. The second half of the book follows his slow, disorienting rehabilitation through a UNICEF program and his eventual resettlement in the United States. Carolyn See at The Washington Post called it essential reading for understanding what it means to be human, and the book became an instant international bestseller credited with reshaping global conversation on child soldiers.
