War and the Crisis of Youth in Sierra Leone (The International African Library) (repost)

Krijn Peters, "War and the Crisis of Youth in Sierra Leone (The International African Library)"

The armed conflict in Sierra Leone and the extreme violence of the main rebel faction - the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) - have challenged scholars and members of the international community to come up with explanations. Up to this point, though, conclusions about the nature of the war and the RUF are mainly drawn from accounts of civilian victims or based on interpretations and rationalizations offered by commentators who had access to only one side of the war.
