One of Africa's deadliest domestic conflicts, the Liberian Civil War, lasted fourteen years, killing more than 250,000 Liberians and displacing more than 800,000 others. This book explores that devastating war and the political and social issues in Liberia at the time. Narrated by a character known as SJ. Wopear, portions of this book follow the changing opinions of a boy who becomes a man in the midst of pervasive cultural conflict. Readers can choose to read the historic accounts, the events as seen by someone who experienced them, or both.
