Full Image Preview Image My Life https://store.bookbaby.com/book/my-life7 In June, 1998, I was living a normal life close to my sister in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Following the ignition of a border war between Ethiopia and Eritrea, the government of Ethiopia announced in the national tv that all Eritreans be registered by going to the nearest police station. The next day I went to a station in my area and the police kept me the whole day there. At dusk, the police told us to board their pickup trucks and took us to Shegolle Detention Camp. We spent there the whole night. In the morning, big Mercedes trucks came to transport the nearly 2000 detainees to Fitche Detention Camp, a town 100 miles north of Addis. After a month, they moved us to Blate Detention Camp located in the south of the country. We stayed in Blate for about a year in a strictly controlled rural area. We tried to keep ourselves busy by organizing indoor and outdoor activities. In Blate, there was epidemic like cholera and malaria that killed so many detainees. Then, they moved us to Dedessa Detention Camp which is located in the west of the country. After five years of detention, a peace agreement was signed between the two countries. In Dedessa, first contact with Aby was made. In the 2000 US election season, contact with Aby became stronger. Many messages were flowing and became the driving force for our release. UNHCR arrived at the camp and started resettlement process to a third country. Around 250 detainees were allowed to migrate to different countries – US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. I was resettled in the US with my family in 2005. Life in America started in Harrisonburg, Virginia. My wife and I started working and my kids started school. My first job was in a supermarket close to my residence. The second job that started in 2008 was as a medical interpreter. eBook, Paperback
Full Image Preview Image LeWogenena LeAger Kibir https://store.bookbaby.com/book/lewogenena-leager-kibir In this book, each chapter shares General Merid Negussie stories and intimate thoughts as he attempts to analyze the challenges he faced as a soldier of his country and family man. Merid rose from humble beginnings. Both of his parents never learned to read or write. His childhood years and early youth were spent in a closely knit family, herding cattle, training horses, and helping his parents on the farm. At a young age, Merid had to leave his village to attend elementary and high school. In 1951, he enrolled at Imperial Bodyguard Academy and was commissioned as a second lieutenant. His passion, love, and dedication to his country brought him great success in the military. Merid attended a highly-specialized Airborne and Commando Course. He then joined the army's Command and Staff College, where he was assigned as an instructor, then later, as administrator of the College. After being wounded fighting in a combat zone, he was awarded one of the highest military medals for valor demonstrated in the battlefield and promoted to the rank of rigadier General for effective military leadership and bravery. His long public service and sacrifice was undoubtedly a testament to his national pride and devotion to his country and the people of Ethiopia. As the civil war heightened and he became distressed by the suffering of families and the destruction caused, he advocated to end the war through peaceful bilateral discussions. Despite his successful leadership in the military, his personal ideology to solve the unceasing civil war with peace talks was not accepted by military-led government of dictator Colonel Mengistu Hailemariam and his administration. Merid gathered reputable Eritrean elders to initiate negotiations with the rebel group to resolve the security situation in the region. The effort was thwarted by leaders of the military government, who believed that the Eritrean war could only be resolved by military means. As his concerns and that of other like-minded military leaders were ignored and their suggestions to ameliorate the situation went unheeded, the rift between Mengistu and his cohorts and reform-minded military leaders widened. Seeing no avenue to address differences amiably, General Merid and other leaders in different services of the armed forces started planning the removal of the military dictatorship. The responsibility of leading this undertaking fell on Merid, a proven leader who would never shy away from a seemingly insurmountable challenge. The 1989 coup d'etat failed to accomplish the formation of a transitional arrangement to democratic governance. In this historic moment, he wrapped himself in the flag of the country he loved and brought an end to a life lived in the service of the people of Ethiopia. This book narrates one of the greatest stories in Ethiopian military history, while also showing the honest development of a family man. Included are intimate handwritten notes to his children discussing their education and life goals, encouraging transparency and honesty between parent and child, and emphasizing their duty to love and respect their country and its people. This book chronicles a distinguished man's life as a soldier, leader, and father. It is an inspiring and captivating tale of citizenship, responsibility, courage, and love. Paperback
Full Image Preview Image Omerta https://store.bookbaby.com/book/omerta Omerta: Selected Poems by Les Gottesman gathers a selection of his poems from 2006 to 2019 as well as earlier works from the 1960s and 70s. Les Gottesman's poems straddle the New York School and San Francisco Beat literary scenes with his own uniquely comic, surrealist sensibility. He resumed his career as poet and editor in the early 2000s, after he devoted decades as an educator and radical political activist. As poet and playwright Genny Lim explains in the Preface, "Les Gottesman's willful deconstruction of literary conventions through his terse metric schemes, find their own dissonant logic and stream of consciousness in surprising accord, if read aloud, to the discordant rhythms and riffs of the best boppers and new music innovators of our time, like Bird, Dizzy, Hawk, Ornette or Cage." Novelist and poet Paul Auster finds in the poems "surprise after surprise, delivered with wit and masterful timing." Critic Bruce F. Kawin calls his poems "funny and personal. Sharp and obscure. His tightly arranged sounds and vivid words take you somewhere but don't tell you where it is. He's a grave jester with a speeding mind and a montage artist's control of tone." The last period of poetic ferment by this "grave jester" lasted until his death in 2019. Omerta gathers a selection of all of his poems, those 2006 to 2019 as well as earlier works from the 1960s and 70s. Omerta: Selected Poems by Les Gottesman includes the preface by Genny Lim, essays by the three editors, Bill Crossman, Hilton Obenzinger, and Alan Senauke, and images of book covers by acclaimed artist Jesse Gottesman. eBook, Paperback
