Klappentext zu „War Child “
Emmanuel Jal was seven years old when he became a soldier and went into battle with the rebel army in Sudan's bloody civil war. Believing he was being sent to school, Emmanuel trekked his way to a refugee camp in Ethiopia where he became one of the Lost Boys of Sudan.
After nearly five years of fighting, Emmanuel was smuggled into Kenya by Emma McCune, a British aid worker, and finally began to have a childhood and an education. When Emma died tragically, Emmanuel struggled to find purpose in life but eventually - through the power of prayer and music - he succeeded.
From child soldier, to refugee, to rap star, War Child is one boy's incredible story of survival and triumph.

You'll come away from this book loving Emmanuel Jal Carolyn See, WASHINGTON POST An astounding narrative of human physical endurance Evening Standard While it may be that no portrayal can ever bring us close to the reality, Jal does afford the reader an insight into a terrrifying existence New Statesman
