Title: Literally gave me nightmares...
Review: While I don't think this is a brand new problem, the author tackles a difficult subject from a modern perspective, with much focus on the role of children and the recruitment of children into militia and small armed forces rather than state-sponsored armies.Many parts of the book were truly shocking, particularly the descriptions of the indoctrination methods used by the organizers of child soldiers to make the children into soldiers capable of greater atrocities than adults.The author's clear writing, thoughtful explanation, and collection of a wide range of source material all make this an excellent introduction to this important topic. It's also nice that the author includes endnotes to point to sources and allow for futher research.
