A Long Way Gone<\/em> by Ishmael Beah is an autobiographical account of his survival as a young boy recruited as a child soldier.<\/span><\/p>

He relates the three years of his life without sensationalism. We know that he survives as the novel begins in a high school in New York City. We then accompany Beah and a group of young boys who become displaced by a civil war that disrupts everything that was solid in their lives. They travel between towns in Sierra Leone trying to escape recruitment into the rebel forces.<\/span><\/p>

Ismael Beah\u2019s account unmasks the heinous crimes around the mining of conflict diamonds; exposes the atrocities of greedy governments and the senseless suffering and killing of innocent victims; and condemns the destruction of institutions that define a civilized society.<\/span><\/p>

Underlying his raw confessions of his brutality and vulnerability, is the hope that in his present life as a human rights activist, he can redeem himself and make a difference.<\/span><\/p>
