- Summary:
-
"Wars have devastating consequences, including separation of children from their parents, as well as depriving them of a dignified life. At times, the separation is unduly long and with a rare chance of ever reuniting with a family. Such is the case with a former South Sudanese-Australian immigrant, Philip Pitia Lako. In The Ten Year Old Man - a memoir, Mr. Lako recounts his abrupt cultural disconnection, tribulations and resilience as a child soldier during the Sudan civil war, and ultimate success in his new found home, Australia."--Foreword.
