It explores memoirs, such as Keitetsi's Child Soldier; Mehari's Heart of Fire; Beah's A Long Way Gone; Jal's and Davies's War Child; Akallo's and McDonnell's Girl Soldier; and Kamara's and McClelland's A Bite of the Mango, and compares these accounts with novels, such as Kourouma's Allah is Not Obliged; Dongala's Johnny Mad Dog; Iweala's Beasts of No Nation; Jarrett-Macauley's Moses, Citizen, and Me; Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun; and Abani's Song for Night"--
