This is how wars are fought now: by children, hopped-up on drugs and wielding AK-47s. Children have become soldiers of choice. In the more than fifty conflicts going on worldwide, it is estimated that there are some 300,000 child soldiers. Ishmael Beah used to be one of them.
What is war like through the eyes of a child soldier? How does one become a killer? How does one stop? Child soldiers have been profiled by journalists, and novelists have struggled to imagine their lives. But until now, there has not been a first-person account from someone who came through this hell and survived.
In A Long Way Gone , Beah, now twenty-five years old, tells a riveting story: how at the age of twelve, he fled attacking rebels and wandered a land rendered unrecognizable by violence. By thirteen, he'd been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found that he was capable of truly terrible acts. This is a rare and mesmerizing account, told with real literary force and heartbreaking honesty.
"My new friends have begun to suspect I haven't told them the full story of my life.
'Why did you leave Sierra Leone?'
'Because there is a war.'
'You mean, you saw people running around with guns and shooting each other?'
'Yes, all the time.'
'Cool.'
I smile a little.
'You should tell us about it sometime.'
'Yes, sometime.'"

評分從孩子到童兵再重新迴到童年,戰爭帶來的劇痛是殘酷真實難以磨滅的。
評分完整讀完的第一本英文原版書。這本書詞匯比較簡單,句子也都較短,閱讀理解起來非常容易。這是《生命最後的讀書會》裏提到過的一本書,講述的是作者自己從一個喜歡Rap的天真少年變成瞭嗑藥殺人的士兵,之後被聯閤國兒童基金組織從軍隊中救齣康復,最後逃離齣塞拉利昂的迴憶錄。作者和幾個小夥伴本來隻是喜歡Rap的少年,內戰爆發的時候與傢人失散,一路逃荒,在趕到很有希望見到自己父母所在的村子前叛軍進攻瞭該村,作者之後加入瞭軍隊,訓練、大麻、毒品、開槍殺人、割喉殺死俘虜成為瞭他的日常生活,而這時他還隻是一個十三四歲的孩子。想起類反恐24小時裏有一集就演到瞭非洲的童軍,被軍官洗腦,成為瞭被毒品控製不會思考隻會殺人的武器。這本書為我們揭開瞭童軍士兵的真實故事,他們也曾經是天真善良的兒童,但一旦成為童軍就無法迴頭。
評分從孩子到童兵再重新迴到童年,戰爭帶來的劇痛是殘酷真實難以磨滅的。
很长时间内都刻意避免主动去看这个世界的丑陋与无奈,避谈政治民生避谈国际大事。不是别的什么原因,只是每每看到世界各处发生的悲剧,会心生惭愧。我痛恨空谈空论,要么就做些什么有裨益的,要么就干脆闭嘴。别人痛苦的时候没有给予帮助。没有阻止悲剧没有化解悲痛。作一个旁...
評分 評分在那些捧着PSP,听着ipod,喝着可乐长大的一代少年看来,“战争”似乎只存在于好莱坞的电影里。但对于另一群少年而言,“战争”就是意味着赤裸裸的血腥和屠戮。 他们手中不再是玩具枪,而是一把把货真价实的AK-47。在枪林弹雨间,他们呼喊着杀人又或被杀,蹉跎于年轻人生的地平...
評分我们的童年是幸福的,被父母宠着、惯着,我们是生活在蜜糖中的孩子。我们不曾想过在世界的另一头——非洲西部的塞拉利昂,那里的人们却生活在战争的阴影之中,那里被恐怖的死亡气氛所笼罩着,到处都是孩子、妇女、老人的哭叫声和炮弹的轰隆声。作者比亚根据对这段亲身遭遇所写...
評分This book tells stories of a boy's memory in a civil war. In this war, either side desperately seeks every opportunity to kill the other side. The important message from this book is that even an innocent person as a school child cannot stay independent. ...
