This book is not about politics. It’s not designed as a socioeconomic study. It’s not even a book about war. This is a story of one kid’s journey in becoming a Soldier and then fighting in a war. It’s a story about memories, both good and bad. It’s a story about emotion, heartache, struggle, and triumph. It’s a story about a child turning into a man and the lessons he learned. There is no hero. There is no villain. This is simply my story as I remember it.
