Every step led the boys away from their peaceful, agrarian world --a traditional world were spear-toting fathers protected their huts from the lions that roamed by night. With each footstep they were drawn deeper into the horrific violence of Sudan's civil war: a world of bombed-out villages, mine -sown roads, and relentless desert, a world where starving adults would snatch the grain from a weak child's fingers. Across Sudan, between 1987 and 1989, tens of thousands of young boys took flight from these massacres. Their journey led them first to Ethiopia and then, driven back into Sudan, toward Kenya. They walked nearly one thousand miles, sustained only by the sheer will to live. This book is the three boys' account of that unimaginable journey.--From publisher description. 600 10 Deng, Benson.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2005008416 600 10 Deng, Alephonsion.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2005008418 600 10 Ajak, Benjamin.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2005008419 600 17 Deng, Benson.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1604472 600 17 Deng, Alephonsion.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1604473 600 17 Ajak, Benjamin.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1604474 650 0 Refugees|zSudan|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2010110415|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001237 650 7 Refugees.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1092797 651 0 Sudan|xHistory|yCivil War, 1983-2005.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99003690 651 7 Sudan.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204591 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 700 1 Deng, Benson.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2005008416 700 1 Ajak, Benjamin.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2005008419 700 1 Bernstein, Judy.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2003081989 901 MARCIVE 20231220 935 421528 994 C0|bRID
