A Long Way Gone / Ishmael Beach

A LONG WAY GONE by Ishmael Beach is an autobiographical account of him as a 12 year old boy, living in Sierre Leone, fighting for his life as he becomes involved with the destruction of entire villages. The war of tribes, rebels, children is unbelieveable. His escape to the United States is miraculous and the writing of his story gives hope for the rehabilitation of the many children involved in warfare throughout the world, even 'tho, we wonder the outcome of thousands and thousands who do not have Ishmael's opportunity.
