Roméo Dallaire was first confronted with child soldiers in unnamed
villages on the tops of the thousand hills of Rwanda during the
genocide of 1994. The dilemma of the adult soldier who faced them is
beautifully expressed in his book's title: when children are shooting
at you, they are soldiers, but as soon as they are wounded or killed
they are children once again.
Believing that not one of us should tolerate a child being used in this fashion, Dallaire has made it his mission to end the use of child soldiers.
In They Fight Like Soldiers, They Die Like Children, he provides an intellectually daring and enlightening introduction to the child soldier phenomenon, as well as inspiring and concrete solutions to eradicate it.
A portion of proceeds from the sale of this book are being donated to the Child Soldiers Initiative.
