Beasts of No Nation

WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY KATIE KITAMURA

'A work of visceral urgency and power' – AMITAV GHOSH

'Totally and shockingly alive from its very first paragraph' – ALI SMITH, GUARDIAN

'An extraordinary book' – SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

Beasts of No Nation follows the harrowing journey of Agu, a young boy whose life is shattered by the outbreak of war in his village. His mother and sister are evacuated by the UN, leaving Agu and his father to face the approaching rebels. Urged to escape by his father, Agu does run—directly into the hands of the very rebels they sought to flee.

In a vivid, sparkling voice, Agu recounts the terrifying and transformative events that follow. His story is both shocking in its intensity and enduring in its impact, a narrative that will remain with readers long after the last page is turned.
