    Beah is a fraud. He has made mugs of us all. Every day there is a new revelation of the inaccuracies in his book. Today a fellow ‘boy soldier” in Sierra Leone stated he knew for sure that Beah was not a soldier at all. And this one has also been a spokesman for the cause with the UN.

    Andrew,

    I have a feeling that this story is going to run and run. I was intending to read this book but now I’m not so sure.

    Regards
    Richard
