This is how wars are fought now: by children, hopped-up on drugs and wielding AK-47s. Children have become soldiers of choice. In the more than fifty conflicts going on worldwide, it is estimated that there are some 300,000 child soldiers. Ishmael Beah used to be one of them.
What is war like through the eyes of a child soldier? How does one become a killer? How does one stop? Child soldiers have been profiled by journalists, and novelists have struggled to imagine their lives. But until now, there has not been a first-person account from someone who came through this hell and survived.
In A Long Way Gone , Beah, now twenty-five years old, tells a riveting story: how at the age of twelve, he fled attacking rebels and wandered a land rendered unrecognizable by violence. By thirteen, he'd been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found that he was capable of truly terrible acts. This is a rare and mesmerizing account, told with real literary force and heartbreaking honesty.

I smile a little.
'You should tell us about it sometime.'
'Yes, sometime.'"

评分《血钻》里的Danny说,战争的鲜血染红了非洲的土地。 塞拉利昂正是这样一个盛产血钻的地方。在这场无关正义混乱的内战中,这个总人口仅为560多万的西非小国,有超过5万人丧生,还有450万人流离失所,无家可归。大量不满18岁甚至更为年幼的儿童被强征入伍,他们身背枪比人高的AK...
