What is beah’s purpose in writing a long way gone?

There are a couple of reasons Beah wrote, "A Long Way Gone."

1. Beah wanted to help others understand how children are recruited to fight in wars around the world. He explains that children are recruited and then indoctrinated into violence through violent films, drugs and the fact they are taken from their parents to fend for themselves. 2. Beah wanted people to educate people about Sierra Leone and its problems, which is where he is from. He was 12 years old when his village was attacked, and he became a child soldier.
