The author of this report provides his personal perspective on the war that took place in Sierra Leone during the 1990s. He argues that international intervention during the 1990s in Sierra Leone represents a success story in ending a war that engulfed the country for over a decade. Sierra Leone bestowed upon itself notoriety for a war the trademarks of which were amputations, the employment of child soldiers, the use of sex slaves, and looting and burning of both public and private properties.
