About the book
“Death had been around me since my late teens, in 1967, when I joined the ELF [Eritrean Liberation Front]. Losing [life partner] Elsa and [comrade] Ibrahim weeks apart shook my world. And in the days and weeks immediately before Wuchu came bearing the news of my mother's death, thousands of young men and women fighters had been staring death in the face under my command. Many had fallen heroically.”
Author, Mesfin Hagos
