A Long Way Gone
Ishmael Beah
HarperCollins Publishers

There are 300,000 child soldiers worldwide. Ishmael Beah was one of them. This is his story.
“A Long Way Gone” walks you through different perceptions of war-all through the eyes of one young boy. In one moment, he is fleeing from the war, having lost his family, and his village, and in the next he is a soldier, hardened by all that he has experienced.
