Escape from Slavery
The True Story of My Ten Years in Captivity and My Journey to Freedom in America
Francis Bok with Edward Tivnan
St. Martin's Griffin
"Bok takes the Sudanese government and world leaders to task for their indifference to his people's suffering. Although he at first was an unwilling ambassador, he has become a leading voice for the antislavery movement in the United States."—
Detroit News and Free Press
"A touching modern-day slave narrative that is more than just an account of [Bok's] journey from childhood to manhood under the worst of circumstances . . . Pages of historical details are eye-opening and provide a glimpse into what can happen when religion is the impetus in the governing of a nation . . . An informative, inspiring read."—

A Long Way Gone
Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
Ishmael Beah
Sarah Crichton Books
"What is it about African wars that is so disturbing? Why do they unsettle us so? . . . The great benefit of Ishmael Beah's memoir,
A Long Way Gone
, is that it may help us arrive at an understanding of this situation. Beah's autobiography is almost unique, as far as I can determine—perhaps the first time that a child soldier has been able to give literary voice to one of the most distressing phenomena of the late 20th century: the rise of the pubescent (or even prepubescent) warrior-killer . . .
A Long Way Gone
is his first, remarkable book. . . . Beah's memoir joins an elite class of writing: Africans witnessing African wars . . .
A Long Way Gone
makes you wonder how anyone comes through such unrelenting ghastliness and horror with his humanity and sanity intact. Unusually, the smiling, open face of the author on the book jacket provides welcome and timely reassurance. Ishmael Beah seems to prove it can happen."—
