What I most admire about Ishmael Beah is his unflinching and unselfpitying manner of telling his story in A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier. His individual story of being a child who lost almost everything in a vicious war speaks for children caught in the same manner around the world. . I could go into superlatives about this book, but would rather simply say it was a genuine and emotional read.
