Summary
This book is a partial biography recounting the events that shaped the author’s life, starting with the 1980 student uprising
at the Campus of Kinshasa of the “Université Nationale du Zaïre,” his dangerous flight in a dugout canoe while crossing
the River Congo during the nighttime, his time in jail in Congo‑Brazzaville, his temporary asylum in Kenya under the
protection of the United Nations, his arrival in the United States, his effort to integrate into the American way of life and his service as a military lawyer in the U.S. Army. It is a profoundly compelling story of a young man whose determination knew no limits and whose life is an iconic representation of fulfilling that “American Dream.” But it is equally compelling for its insight into so many men and women journeying to America from distant shores and living with roots deeply planted in their new and native lands.
