Re: Book #23

Beah, who wrote about his time as a boy soldier, is having his story questioned. Beah defends his memories saying he wrote the book to the best of his recollection. He was only twelve years old when he became a soldier in Sierra Leone, Africa. Read about this HERE. Whatever happens with this, I think Beah was telling a story that needed to be told and drawing attention to a cause that should be at the center of the world's stage. How much longer can we pretend that the African continent is not enveloped in turmoil and despair?
