I've changed my topic
Yes, I did it. I finally found a topic that works. My topic will be based on the Sierra Leonean Tragedy. This is where adults used child soldiers to guard people that mined for diamonds. This is once again a tragic and gloomy topic, but I have always wondered about it since Kanye West made that one song.

This Book seems to have brief descriptions on certain topics. It goes through the different stages of events that have happened in Sierra Leone. It gives a close look at the tragedy and sort of explains the whole incident. It looks like a pretty overall good book.
