Scars of a Boy Soldier: A Boy Soldier's Story in His Own Words (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781785077715)

Scars of a Boy Soldier is the story of the physical and psychological turmoil suffered by a 12-year-old boy when he's abducted into the Lord's Resistance Army in northern Uganda.

This 25-year-old Ugandan author faced violent memories that, for ten years, he had tried to repress. Forgotten tears were shed in the writing of this book. How should the story be told? What should be told? How much detail should be told?

Readers will get a unique insight into what happened to a young boy's mind when he was torn from his family and tortured into fighting.

This gripping story, beyond imagination, is written from the heart. Gruesome, but understated, and without gratuitous detail.
