I just finished this book written by Ishmael Beah about his life as a boy soldier in Sierra Leone. See my links for a jump to his site.
It is not what you would call a "light-hearted romp".
It is so hard for me to imagine what the young people of Sierra Leone have lived through.
I was surprised to find out that there has been some controversy regarding the veracity of Beah's account.

Regardless, even given the possibility of some artistic license, it is a gripping, thought provoking book.
