Synopsis de l’éditeur
"Washington Post

"A breathtaking and unselfpitying account of how a gentle spirit survives a childhood from which all innocence has suddenly been sucked out. It's a truly riveting memoir." ""

The warzone seems like a situation that can never be resolved, which makes it an even greater hell. Ishmael displays potential that is immediately recognized by the staffers of the rehabilitation center of help by UNICEF. Finally, no matter where he is, Ishmael is surrounded with love and hope for the future. Ishmael Beah underscores his central theme of freedom by using symbols in his literary work, A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier. His difficult journey out of Sierra Leone into Guinea becomes a metaphorical journey out of death and into life when he finally realizes that he cannot stay in his hometown.
