Absolutely remarkable; he experienced such a horrendous war as a child- one that would have emotionally crippled an adult even- & after it all ended instead of turning to drugs & alcohol he wrote a book and speaks out against war- this man is a testament to the human spirit!
Long Way Gone is still my favourite memoir, both because of how well it is written and the issues it raises. I have nothing but the utmost respect for this man.
When I was reading the book I could not even believe what I was reading. At first it seemed like a fictional story to me. But when you hear the actual man who went through it say those words... It breaks your heart a little. Just to know that there are some people who were robbed of their childhoods. The books is terrific but it is very sad. I have so much respect for this man!
Incredible book written by an incredible man. I have come out of the book with a new appreciation for life and a greater sense of awareness and compassion. Beah has truly touched my soul. I have nothing but the utmost respect for this guy. May god bless him for the rest of his life.
I discovered this novel last year after doing a self chosen essay on child soldiers and was instantly captivated. Beah's voice in the book is incredibly strong, empowering and all around heart breaking. This has given me the utmost appreciation for the peaceful, democratic country I live in, as well as the motivation to help decrease the existence of even a few child soldiers. Just recently I joined a group (in association with War Child) that is working towards replacing bullets with pencils. We are looking to give young children the ability to receive an education, and more predominantly, the opportunities other than war that can branch from such. I have sheer respect for Ishmael and his courage to share this crippling story, which has undoubtedly changed the lives of many. Thank you.
Absolutely amazing story. Cannot imagine what it would be like to live through that trauma. So much respect and admiration for Ishmael, and it's brilliant how he can move forward with his life with his head held high. The story is written beautifully, and definitely makes you aware of what happens in other parts of the world, and that you should really appreciate the life you live in. More people should definitely read his book, Ishmael is extremely inspiring. UNICEF has saved so many lives, including Ishmael's, which is a step in the right direction.
I am a Sierra Leonean myself and live through the first part of the war. However, I did not lived through half as this guy did. He made me see the other part of the war that I thankfully did not get to see. The book gave me goose bumps, especially reading about a place I know so well. You are my hero Ishmael!!! I just hope that our country will continue to progress. Wish to meet you one day :)
wow it's amazing how someone who has live through violence and war could function and write an inspirational story like that. My heart goes to him and others who was and is still in his shoes as a child soldier.
Amazing how a twist of fate can brings out his deep intellectual and dignity as human being. Now i truly believe that all child are innocent and has the same potential, but not all have the opportunity to live in a civilized environment.
I just finished reading this book. I'm in the eighth grade, and I now know that I've been so naive all these years. I always complain about my family, but this man and many other child soldiers lose their whole childhood at such a young age. I am so appreciative now.
I just finished this book. A truly amazing story of suffering and survival. It strips away the romantacism of war. Mr. Beah is a remarkable man and author.
Read this book when I was 12 or 13 and I must say that it really has opened my eyes I’ve always been interested in what’s going on surrounding child soldiers and war in African countries and I suggest if u liked the book then you will like the movie beasts of no nation. I was debating watching it because it wasn’t an official movie it was a low budget movie on Netflix but may I say that it is the best movie ever made on this subject let alone one of the best war movies made. I highly recommend watching this movie. I would not watch with children 14 and under even though it is rated r.
Man, You deserve every good thing you achieve in your life...You made it all the way through the difficulties in your life and now that you found yourself showing the world what the war is and what it can cause to a child, the best is to be achieved for you, Im positive! I advice everyone to read this book...
I met him today, he came to our school for a special presentation. It was amazing for once our whole grade paid attention not even one whisper through-out the audience. He signed my book.
i read this book very good book and i'm not the type of person to read books i'm 17 but i wonder if the nurse he befriended in the rehab center ever survived the war and if they where ever able to recontact each other.
I'm reading this book in English class and we're almost done with it. It's a really awesome story and keeps me on the edge of my seat. I hope one day I could meet Ishmael.
It makes me so sad that kids in america still feel this way. In highschool I had a kid tell me he wanted to go to war because his brother "didn't kill enough". And that was horrific to listen to as a teen. Even more horrifying as an adult.
One of the most heart-wrenching books I've ever read. Thank you for sharing your experiences, Ishmael! Wherever you are, I hope you are healthy and well. You deserve any good fortune that comes your way.
I just finished reading this book and it is amazing. It is very graphic but u really get to experience what it was like for him. I would not have been able to live through 1/2 the stuff that he lived through!! I salute and admire him for being strong enough to make it out and still go back to try to help those who are still in need. God bless, Ishmael!!
This man is so strong. I can't believe that after everything he went thorough, that he is this strong. I'm readi free book right now and it is so amazing. This man is my hero.
The one part that actually got me to cry is when Josiah died. The way he died and his age made me cry. Plus I was in class reading to myself so I'm glad nobody saw that XD
I am so happy for this man, having the ability to overcome such a terrible factor of his life. It's great to see how well he is, and a he has re-connected with himself!
Yes the book is tops, brilliant as the young man is brilliant. I just cant imagine how many brilliant minds that were destroys by this fueled by outside war.. so so so so very sad.
im in the process of reading his book. Ishmael is an inspiration and a voice that needs to be listened to. He is a hero who, by telling his story can slowly change opinions and spark some awareness and change. God Bless him
I just finished reading this book that I bought in a book sale. I was really grateful to discover this amazing book. It really caught my attention because of what's happening right now in some part of the world where wars are happening. It's 2023 and I hope everything will get better and there'll be no children to experience these things like in the story.
According to Bob Marley "Who feels it knows it" It is better to let people know it than to hide it. Excellent story! be good and continue to love Salone.
This is a must read book. The story that is told is incredible, and makes you realize what you truly have. This man is very inspirational and i think everyone should learn from his life! Amazing, inspirational.
he's a beautiful man...to be so compassionate and soulful given all that he's been through. a true inspiration for us to look past our petty life issues in our daily lives and just appreciate our short time on earth here.
That Book made me change my point of view of the world. It made me understand how lucky I am. And I think that Ishmael were very strong and I can't believe he was a child soldier and I can't believe he have been the strenght to write that book.Wow He is a hero.
i read this book... it was probably the most amazing book i have ever read. i can't imagine ever going through what he and many others had gone through... and i'm glad that he was strong enough to make it and share his experiences in such a REAL way... and not textbook style.. inspiring.. truly.
I had just finished reading this book in the portuguese version (i'm from Brazil).....all I can say is that I really enjoy every page! The story is very hard sometimes but a great real view of a civil war from inside. Ishmael is a symbol for thousand children around the world. He shows that there is always another way (and much better way) of living even into a heavy environment. I suggest everyone to read this excellent book! Take care.
I am almost to the end of this book, it's good to see Ishmael looks so good now and seems to have reconnected to himself! What an inspiration he is.....to see what he has overcome! WoW! Many Blessings to you Ishmael and thank you for sharing your story so the truth can be known....
I bought his book last year on a whim when it was on sale at a local bookstore. He is an outstanding writer and testiment to human spirit. His book is heartbreaking and eye-opening. I think everyone should read this book to understand the effects of war, and put an end to child soldiers once and for all.
This video goes to show how super fortunate we are to live the lives we live. Some of you may think that he was a killer and switch off your ears. There is a saying in my country that goes like this "what aint meet you aint pass you." For those who think that it cannot happen in your part of the world you could be dead wrong. Just look at the political leader we are breeding. War and death justifies the ends so long as it dont happen here.
Amazing book, I just finished it and I couldn't sleep after it.. I am really impressed, what a story..It is hard to imagine where he has been through.. Respect for where he is now in life.
Ishmael came to my school today and talked to us about his life. Because I am in an AP class, I spoke to him myself and he is a really great person. When I asked about who influences him now he told me Nelson Mandela and Bob Marley. I thought that was pretty funny.
This book is beyond words. It should be required reading for every single person in the so-called "civilized" world. And we should all be aware that it is our greed and need for oil, diamonds etc which fuels these wars. As always we take and give nothing in return.
I just read this book in English and I'm writing an essay on it. shoutout to my teacher for having me read this book. wish I could have the amount of courage he has
I just read this book in class and i loved it. I could really feel all the emotion he was trying to portray to his audience. His words and details made me feel like i was there, i feel so bad for all the child soldiers out there and it is something that needs to be stopped.
I'm reading his book now, for a summer reading thing for school. It is so sad. Yet the detail he tells is amazing! I can't imagine myself going through what he went through. It is one of the best books i've read! It's crazy that he had gone through that at such a young age. He is truly an amazing individual.
The book is a must read for everyone. there is no way a person can imagine what he has lived. Our lives are so insulated. We need the awareness this book gives us. I am thankful he survived and is telling his story.
I finished this book a few hours ago. It was amazing. It brought be to tears many times. When the war reached Freetown I cursed out loud. That's how pissed off I was, because he finally escaped and the war found him. I cried when he was so close to seeing his family and then the opportunity was snatched away from him.
he went to my college and I just saw him speak at our convocation. He is actually very active in several organizations and has even worked with nelson mandela. It took a lot of encouragement from his profs before he even considered writing, and if it's any indication, he has lived in the US since he was 16 or so, and it is only just about now that his book has really garnered any real attention. It is really not so fair to assume so many things of him.
This book moved me so much :(. I think it's amazing how he turned his life around and escaped, even though all of these terrible things happened to him. It makes me really appreciate everything I was born with.
ishmael beah is my inspiration, now every single day i read new from throughout the world. i am still only 12 and i cant begin to comprehend how i would feel if i were in his position yet at the same time i wish i were in sierra leone at the time that the war was going on, just to have the experience and to know exactly how badly it affects our world. Note*- i would greatly like to contact him so if anyone who reads this knows his fan mailing address or e-mail pls pls pls tell me
i was glad i picked this book up in the school library when i had to read about memoirs :) thumbs up, i love his book, i hate reading but would read his book aggain, is there a movie?
Very good book I read this book I think last year I saw it at a book store at an airport so I when I got home I read it. it was great this guy is amazing. If you did like this book, everyone should watch Blood Diamond,,, that is probably one of THE best movies I have ever seen in my life. It goes with the book.
This book is amazing and so out off the reality of most of the people... How can we ignore such facts? How can we live in the world like this? How can few people control the mind of millions or few contry control the life of millions??? Peace is the only way...Who think there are any glory in the war must read this book.
This book is amazing its really just amazing. I would love it if someone makes a movie from this book. Im sorry for all those children in Siera Leona who got their childhood taken away and families lost or deceased.
its crazy thinking that the book isnt fiction and the person speaking in the video is actually the same person to have gone through it. i am humbled. Respect.
I just fininshed reading his book and its ready amazing, it made me to be strong and live with what I've witness as a child. Thanks to him for writing this book.
i remember from the book when he described his first kill. "i closed my eyes, squeezed the trigger, and i killed a man." so poignant he was only like 11 years old
this guy is awe some i wish to meet him someday .. the book is great , i cant put it down .. i feel like i'm there when i'm reading it ,, your truly a remarkableyoung man.
I was actually just looking for a interesting book to read during the slow times at work. The cover of this book instantly captured me. The price shocked me at first, but this book is totally worth worth it. Incredible story!
Shout out to my teacher for making me read this book!! Hell of a story
VIDslaper were reading his book and he came to our school to talk about his childhood it was so cool
same
I agree
VIDslaper I got to read it too for my class made me feel appreciative of my life
wish my teacher was like yours
thank you to my teacher for making me read this book
Absolutely remarkable; he experienced such a horrendous war as a child- one that would have emotionally crippled an adult even- & after it all ended instead of turning to drugs & alcohol he wrote a book and speaks out against war- this man is a testament to the human spirit!
I am not really into nonfiction and autobiographies but I read this book and I really enjoyed it. It was a very deep book.
Over the years I've come to appreciate nonfiction the most. The Act of Killing is a good film.
@@TheButterMinecart1 Thanks for the suggestion
Long Way Gone is still my favourite memoir, both because of how well it is written and the issues it raises. I have nothing but the utmost respect for this man.

Great book. Just gotta say that his accent is so amazing.
When I was reading the book I could not even believe what I was reading. At first it seemed like a fictional story to me. But when you hear the actual man who went through it say those words... It breaks your heart a little. Just to know that there are some people who were robbed of their childhoods. The books is terrific but it is very sad. I have so much respect for this man!
This book was my freshman reader at college. Ishmael also came to speak that year as a special guest and I got to meet him. He was a cool guy.
Incredible book written by an incredible man. I have come out of the book with a new appreciation for life and a greater sense of awareness and compassion. Beah has truly touched my soul. I have nothing but the utmost respect for this guy. May god bless him for the rest of his life.

"just waking up in the morning is enough for me to smile and be happy"
Much respect to this man.
An amazing book loved and thank you for letting people know about this you're fantastic!
HE CAME TO OUR HIGH SCHOOL :D Talked to me in person, signed the book for me. Charming person, tough past. RESPECT!
wow it's amazing how someone who has live through violence and war could function and write an inspirational story like that. My heart goes to him and others who was and is still in his shoes as a child soldier.
Amazing how a twist of fate can brings out his deep intellectual and dignity as human being. Now i truly believe that all child are innocent and has the same potential, but not all have the opportunity to live in a civilized environment.
All that Ishmael has gone through its amazing that he is poised, humble, smart and positive. I would love to shake his hand one day.
He's very eloquent. I will always admire people who can genuinely fluently speak 2nd languages

Am one years older than This comment
I met him today, he came to our school for a special presentation. It was amazing for once our whole grade paid attention not even one whisper through-out the audience. He signed my book.
I read this book at a very young age. Thank you so much for helping me see the world for what it is
i read this book very good book and i'm not the type of person to read books i'm 17 but i wonder if the nurse he befriended in the rehab center ever survived the war and if they where ever able to recontact each other.
nice nook
I'm reading this book in English class and we're almost done with it. It's a really awesome story and keeps me on the edge of my seat. I hope one day I could meet Ishmael.
The one book I was forced to read over summer break for school that I didn’t mind reading
such an eloquent speaker.. every sentence has meaning, no rambling. thoughtful, succinct but conveying so much.
It makes me so sad that kids in america still feel this way. In highschool I had a kid tell me he wanted to go to war because his brother "didn't kill enough". And that was horrific to listen to as a teen. Even more horrifying as an adult.
One of the most heart-wrenching books I've ever read. Thank you for sharing your experiences, Ishmael!
Wherever you are, I hope you are healthy and well. You deserve any good fortune that comes your way.
i cried from the first page of this book to the last...GREAT BOOK!
I just finished reading this book and it is amazing. It is very graphic but u really get to experience what it was like for him. I would not have been able to live through 1/2 the stuff that he lived through!!

Beautiful story. So touching so sad but so weakening.
I am so happy for this man, having the ability to overcome such a terrible factor of his life. It's great to see how well he is, and a he has re-connected with himself!
This young man is a hero. I appreciate his candidness and his clear articulation of his story.
Yes the book is tops, brilliant as the young man is brilliant. I just cant imagine how many brilliant minds that were destroys by this fueled by outside war.. so so so so very sad.
im in the process of reading his book. Ishmael is an inspiration and a voice that needs to be listened to. He is a hero who, by telling his story can slowly change opinions and spark some awareness and change.
God Bless him
Ismael this book changed my ENTIRE perspective about war. I'm very thankful for that.
I just finished reading this book that I bought in a book sale. I was really grateful to discover this amazing book. It really caught my attention because of what's happening right now in some part of the world where wars are happening. It's 2023 and I hope everything will get better and there'll be no children to experience these things like in the story.
turned into a smart & respectable human. Should run for some office
He spouts nothing but humility, respect, intelligence, and sincerity. Beah is a true inspiration.
According to Bob Marley "Who feels it knows it" It is better to let people know it than to hide it. Excellent story! be good and continue to love Salone.
This is a must read book. The story that is told is incredible, and makes you realize what you truly have. This man is very inspirational and i think everyone should learn from his life! Amazing, inspirational.
Ishmael Beah is an amazing person and a very talented writer. I would love to see him in person some day.
he's a beautiful man...to be so compassionate and soulful given all that he's been through. a true inspiration for us to look past our petty life issues in our daily lives and just appreciate our short time on earth here.
Wow, "people who glamorize it have never touched it." Powerful
That Book made me change my point of view of the world.
It made me understand how lucky I am.
And I think that Ishmael were very strong and I can't believe he was a child soldier and I can't believe he have been the strenght to write that book.Wow
He is a hero.
Excellent interview. It's a great book. Couldn't put it down.
I also finished the book last week, great book and great writer. May God bless Sierra Leone and its beautiful people
i read this book... it was probably the most amazing book i have ever read. i can't imagine ever going through what he and many others had gone through... and i'm glad that he was strong enough to make it and share his experiences in such a REAL way... and not textbook style.. inspiring.. truly.
That book should be a movie.

i recommend this book for everyone to read and, i hope this encourages America to clean up this problem. because we can do it.
I bought his book last year on a whim when it was on sale at a local bookstore. He is an outstanding writer and testiment to human spirit. His book is heartbreaking and eye-opening. I think everyone should read this book to understand the effects of war, and put an end to child soldiers once and for all.
What an intelligent and well spoken guy.
This video goes to show how super fortunate we are to live the lives we live. Some of you may think that he was a killer and switch off your ears.

it's remarkable the man is in front of us and has the power to speak about his horrow so eloquently
Amazing book, I just finished it and I couldn't sleep after it..
I am really impressed, what a story..It is hard to imagine where he has been through..
Respect for where he is now in life.
Ishmael came to my school today and talked to us about his life. Because I am in an AP class, I spoke to him myself and he is a really great person. When I asked about who influences him now he told me Nelson Mandela and Bob Marley. I thought that was pretty funny.
i just finished reading the book for my african class. I read all of it in less than a day. Its that good...
more people should watch this and READ THE BOOK. unbelievably to hear of beah's past reality...
This book is beyond words. It should be required reading for every single person in the so-called "civilized" world. And we should all be aware that it is our greed and need for oil, diamonds etc which fuels these wars. As always we take and give nothing in return.
I just read this book in English and I'm writing an essay on it. shoutout to my teacher for having me read this book. wish I could have the amount of courage he has
I hope you aced your essay
I just read this book in class and i loved it. I could really feel all the emotion he was trying to portray to his audience. His words and details made me feel like i was there, i feel so bad for all the child soldiers out there and it is something that needs to be stopped.
8 people need to live the life of a child soldier and we'll see if they dislike this again..... BEAH = HERO !!!!!
I'm reading his book now, for a summer reading thing for school. It is so sad. Yet the detail he tells is amazing! I can't imagine myself going through what he went through. It is one of the best books i've read! It's crazy that he had gone through that at such a young age. He is truly an amazing individual.
this is probablly the best book i have ever read. Just like it says, EVERYONE should read this book.
ishmael, i realy enjoyed uour book, for me it was a life changing experience .... thank u big time !!
great book for the people that read it
The book is a must read for everyone. there is no way a person can imagine what he has lived. Our lives are so insulated. We need the awareness this book gives us. I am thankful he survived and is telling his story.
The way he described the experience was so well put.
I chocked up a couple of times reading this book but it was an amazing story
I finished this book a few hours ago. It was amazing. It brought be to tears many times. When the war reached Freetown I cursed out loud. That's how pissed off I was, because he finally escaped and the war found him. I cried when he was so close to seeing his family and then the opportunity was snatched away from him.
he went to my college and I just saw him speak at our convocation. He is actually very active in several organizations and has even worked with nelson mandela. It took a lot of encouragement from his profs before he even considered writing, and if it's any indication, he has lived in the US since he was 16 or so, and it is only just about now that his book has really garnered any real attention. It is really not so fair to assume so many things of him.
Same here, and same here. Everyone should read it. It's enlightening.
This book moved me so much :(. I think it's amazing how he turned his life around and escaped, even though all of these terrible things happened to him. It makes me really appreciate everything I was born with.
A very remarkable human being.
ishmael beah is my inspiration, now every single day i read new from throughout the world. i am still only 12 and i cant begin to comprehend how i would feel if i were in his position yet at the same time i wish i were in sierra leone at the time that the war was going on, just to have the experience and to know exactly how badly it affects our world. Note*- i would greatly like to contact him so if anyone who reads this knows his fan mailing address or e-mail pls pls pls tell me
i had to read this book as my summer reading for honors literature, man i’m so glad i got to read this. amazing story
i was glad i picked this book up in the school library when i had to read about memoirs :) thumbs up, i love his book, i hate reading but would read his book aggain, is there a movie?
It's amazing to see these comments below, insulting such a poor man. But Somehow, I understand it helps these people feel better about themselves
Very good book I read this book I think last year I saw it at a book store at an airport so I when I got home I read it. it was great this guy is amazing. If you did like this book, everyone should watch Blood Diamond,,, that is probably one of THE best movies I have ever seen in my life. It goes with the book.
This book is amazing and so out off the reality of most of the people... How can we ignore such facts? How can we live in the world like this? How can few people control the mind of millions or few contry control the life of millions??? Peace is the only way...Who think there are any glory in the war must read this book.
Wow, this was such a good interview
This book is amazing its really just amazing. I would love it if someone makes a movie from this book. Im sorry for all those children in Siera Leona who got their childhood taken away and families lost or deceased.

I agree.
One of my favorite reads.
this man is an inspiration to all of us
Please support War Child, they help people like Beah and try to prevent this from happening
