Synopsis
Along with millions of others in Sierra Leone, Ishmael Beah found his life torn from its mooring by the cataclysmic events of the 1991 civil war. He was 12 years old when he lost his family and became a wandering refugee, and by 15 he had joined the thousands of child soldiers waging war across the devastated nation. Though he grew up surrounded by atrocity, violence, and chaos, Beah somehow managed, with the help of a UNICEF-sponsored organization, to leave his soldier life behind, and eventually fled the country to America. Ishmael Beah's vivid, brilliant, and harrowing account is a gripping testament to the nature of life in a country where the foundation of civilization has crumbled and the concept of childhood has tragically disappeared.

    This is the story of children being used as soldiers through the use of brainwashing and drugs. In particular, this is the story of Ishmael Beah, who was just 12 years old when he fled his village while it was being attacked by rebels. He wandered through the brush for months, until he was captured by an army unit that taught him to use an AK-47 and fed him drugs. Ishmael describes his life of horror, until at the age of 15 he was saved by UNESCO. With the help of his uncle and a nurse that worked there,he turned his life around.

    The reader isn't spared the horror of Ishmael's young life when he describes exactly how he became a killing machine. In Hebrew, Ishmael means "may God hear" and I believe he did and he helped. This story goes on today with other boys Ishmael's age and even younger. Can you imagine this way of life for your own children?
