Beah was separated from his parents at age 12 when rebel soldiers
attacked his village in Sierra Leone. By 13 he was a soldier, a killer
many times over, armed to the teeth and wired on a mixture of cocaine
and gunpowder. Beah's memory of his season in hell, and his eventual
rescue and rehabilitation, are painfully sharp, and his memoir takes
readers behind the dead eyes of the child-soldier in a way no other
writer has.
