Opis

"A fascinating peek inside the mind of one seeking to rescue the world from its own insanity." Following a career in domestic law enforcement, the author traveled to Liberia in West Africa to run US Embassy diplomatic security operations. Before he could get his bearings he found himself engulfed in bloody civil war in Liberia that exposed him to horrors that would stretch the boundaries of believability to the limits. His struggles to adapt and survive the revolution in Liberia and the two that awaited him in Gambia and Sierra Leone altered the way he viewed the world forever. He shares that evolution of perspective in this memoire with incredible imagery and thought-provoking detail and analysis.
