Reading

Ishmael Beah (born 23 November 1980)[1] is a Sierra Leonean author and human rights activist who rose to fame with his acclaimed memoir, A Long Way Gone.[2] His novel Radiance of Tomorrow was published in January 2014.[3] His most recent novel Little Family was published in April 2020.[4]

In 1991, the Sierra Leone Civil War started. Rebels invaded Beah's hometown, Mogbwemo, located in the Southern Province of Sierra Leone, and he was forced to flee. Separated from his family, he spent months wandering south with a group of other boys. At the age of 13, he was forced to become a child soldier. According to Beah's account, he fought for almost three years before being rescued by UNICEF.
