"A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier" by Ishmael Beah is a fantastic book. The author writes of his experiences as a child in Sierra Leone during the civil war of the 1990's. He was ultimately forced to fight alongside and against other teenage boys.

Saw this guy on CBC's The Hour plugging the book. Looked really really powerful, he was eloquent and clear. I think I'll pick this one up.
