Investigates why our cultural perception of the child soldier has changed radically over the past two centuries. This study reveals how Western conceptions of childhood as a uniquely vulnerable and innocent state are a relatively recent invention. Furthermore, David M. Rosen offers an illuminating history of how human rights organisations drew on these sentiments to create the very term "child soldier”.
