Rezensionen

'A captivating description of the abhorrent use of children as weapons in adult wars ... Myriam Denov sheds light onto the daily challenges faced by children on the battlefield. She has captured the complexities of the child soldier issue through the unbelievable stories of Sierra Leonean youth. After reading this book you will realise that inaction is no longer an option, we must act now to eradicate the use of child soldiers in the world!' Roméo Dallaire, retired Lieutenant-General and Project Leader of The Child Soldiers Initiative
