Reviews
George J. Sefa Dei, Department of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Social Justice Education, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto:
“Child to Soldier is an incredibly fascinating, engaging book. Along with offering gripping testimonies of former CI combatants, Opiyo Oloya helps readers understand how Acholi and Ugandan culture shaped the dynamics of children who became a part of war and illuminates the challenges faced by the Acholi people seeking a way forward.”
