Hi, I'm Christy Shriver, and we're here to discuss books that have changed the world and have changed us. And I'm Garry Shriver and this is the How to Love Lit Podcast. This is our third and final episode discussing Ismael Beah's personal memoir A Long Way Gone, Memoir of a Boy Soldier. In Week one, we discussed the first ten chapters of the book, introduced a very brief history of Sierra Leone, as a country, as well as a little background as to what started the civil unrest and why it lasted for so long in the country of Sierra Leone. It came down to corruption on the part of the government, then of course, there were the diamonds, the ones everyone wanted, blood diamonds as the world has come to call them. Last episode, we only discussed five chapters, but they are five brutal chapters, the chapters where Beah discusses his entrance into the army and just a few of his experiences as a child soldier. These are brutal, tragic and unfortunately more common than we would like to admit. I appreciated that he didn't harp on these. I assume he could probably have fiilled a volume listing one terrible atrocity after another, but he didn't. He carefully chose events that supported specific points that he was trying to make. One point being how callous he and the other children became to the humanity of others, through the drugs, by watching and modeling the behaviors of the adults. It was clear that child soldiers are braver and more expendable than adults and widely used by all sides of the conflict. This episode, we will discuss the rest of the book, chapters 16-21. Here Beah explores his onw reintegration as a child soldier back into the world of real sentient human beings, the kind that feel empathy for each other and live peacefully with one another. We only see the beginning of Beah's journey. We go with him as he physically escapes the war and Sierra Leone. But before that happens, we watch his journey out of drug addiction and back into mainstream living, something not even the United Nations was sure was possible for child soldiers to do. His particular case is an incredible miracle and one that is atypical of most child soldiers. Not all soldiers end up being adopted by upper-class American parents, but truth be told, thousands have been able to reintegrate into schools and local communities. The question people want to know is what can we do to create hope for them? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hi, I'm Christy Shriver and we're here to discuss books that have changed the world and have changed us. And I'm Garry Shriver, and this is the How to Love Lit Podcast. This is episode two in our three part series on Ishmael Beah's national bestseller A Long Way Gone, Memoirs of a Boy Soldier. It is Ismael Beah's first hand account of what he experienced as a child during Sierra Leone's long armed conflict which completely ravaged the country and displaced a third of its inhabitants between 1991 until its official end in January of 2002. Last week we discussed the origins of the war and the fact that the violence endured for so long and was so bloody in large part because it was funded by what we call blood diamonds, those precious gems that were mined and sold by both sides of the conflict in order to buy weapons. Beah's account begins with an introduction dating in 1998 as a reflection. From the beginning we know that Beah not only survives the war but somehow is writing his story from New York City, which is crazy to think about after reflecting on the chapters we discussed in the last episode, chapters 1-10. We also can see by that introduction that he manages to escape the conflict before its official ending. In these early chapters we meet an innocent group of boys living normal adolescent lives that are interrupted by murderous and senseless killing sprees. The boys run because that is the only thing they can do. They run in a group so as to survive, but by the very nature of the war, they are not only threatened by all sorts of dangers, but they themselves are also perceived as threats. They are the exact profile of the nation's most deadly assassins. They are on the run with no where to go and are totally disenfranchised for what is almost an entire year. This week, we will discuss only five chapters, chapters 10-15. These are the chapters that detail Beah's relatively brief discussion of his two years spent as a soldier. He is only 13 but he will serve as a soldier for two years in what is basically a terrorist squad victimizing in many cases innocent civilians. Garry, before we read Beah's individual story, let's look at the concept of child soldiers in general. It is obviously an inhumane practice. What armies and terriorists do to the children to manipulate them into becoming killing machines is immorale by any code of. Morality. What these children do in the perceived service of freedom or liberation go far beyond international humanitarian law or acceptable standards of warfare conducted by adult soldiers in armed conflicts, especially what they did to innocent civilians. How could any leader on any side of any political concept justify this practice for any political or economical reason? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Host Marcia Franklin talks with former child soldier Ishmael Beah, whose bestselling book, A Long Way Gone, details his harrowing experiences in the 1990s when he fought with the government-backed army in Sierra Leone as a teenager during a brutal civil war. Beah fled attacking rebels in his homeland at age 12 and was later picked up and forced to serve in the government army. He was eventually released by the army and sent to a UNICEF rehabilitation center. Franklin and Beah talk about how he and other children are drawn into war, what effect his experiences had on him, what society can do about this illegal practice, and what he plans to do with his future. Beah also addresses allegations that there were factual inaccuracies in his book, including how long he was a soldier. Beah moved to the United States in 1998 and later earned a bachelor's degree in political science. He has spoken before the United Nations, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Center for Emerging Threats and Opportunities (CETO) at the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory, as well as many other panels on children affected by the war.
