War Child: A Child Soldier's Story
by Megan Lloyd Davies and Emmanuel Jal
A HEARTWRENCHING FACTUAL ACCOUNT OF A CHILD WARRIOR IN THE SUDAN. A WARRIOR INDUCTED INTO THE HORRORS OF CONFLICT AT AN AGE WHEN HIS WEAPON WAS TALLER THAN HIM. IN HIS WORDS, "THE EXACT DATES CONTAINED IN THIS BOOK ARE THOSE OF EVENTS WRITTEN DOWN IN HISTORY BOOKS, BUT MOST OF THE EVERYDAY VIOLENCE OF WAR NEVER MAKES IT INTO BOOKS, AND THIS ONE IS NOT MEANT TO BE A HISTORY OF A COUNTRY TO BE READ BY SCHOLARS. IT IS THE STORY OF ONE BOY, HIS MEMORIES, AND WHAT HE WITNESSED." COPY IS 257 PAGES AND 9 1/2" X 6 1/2".
