They Fight Like Soldiers, They Die Like Children is a non-fiction book by the Canadian politician and former general Romeo Dallaire (and Jessica Dee Humphreys) about the child-soldier phenomenon.[1] The book contains a foreword by Ishmael Beah, an ex child soldier and author of A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier.

It was a finalist for the Mavis Gallant Prize for Non-Fiction from the Quebec Writers' Federation Awards in 2011.[2]

The book was adapted into the television documentary film Fight Like Soldiers, Die Like Children by Patrick Reed in 2012.[3]
