Book Description
The continued story, that is full of intimate details and struggles of my life are exposed. I understand that everyone has a story to tell, but this is different. My first release, “A Cry for Justice”, wasn’t the half of it. People write a single book and leave it at that, I have written my second book and I am thrilled to share with you, the reader, the many lessons I have had in my search for truth and understanding. Can one man really be finished with a story about his life? Doesn’t life keep going and become stable, eventually? Well you be the judge of that, in your own heart, after reading this next release. You will be entertained and relieved that people do have it easier than others and the level of learning is different. The often said, “Been there done that”, will have a new meaning.

Amir Sjarifoeddin
Author: Rudolf Mrázek
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501777483
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
Amir Sjarifoeddin explores the experiences of a central figure in the Indonesian revolution, whose life mirrored the idealism and contradictions of the anti-colonial and post-war world of twentieth century Indonesia. Amir was born at the edge of an empire in a time of change. Imprisoned by the Dutch for anti-colonialism, he was sentenced to death by the Japanese for anti-fascism. He survived to become the prime minister of the new Indonesian republic. Disappointed by the direction the Indonesian elites were taking, Amir turned increasingly to the left. In 1948 he joined the armed uprising against both the Indonesian government and the corruption of the national revolution, and was captured and executed as a traitor. In Amir Sjarifoeddin, Rudolf Mrázek unveils the human dimensions of a figure who is widely mythologized but often poorly understood. Through Sjarifoeddin's life, it is possible to study the moral ambiguity and complexities of the political revolutions of the twentieth century.

My Own Country
Author: Abraham Verghese
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476760462
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
The memoir and first book from the author of the beloved New York Times bestseller Cutting for Stone. Nestled in the Smoky Mountains of eastern Tennessee, the town of Johnson City had always seemed exempt from the anxieties of modern American life. But when the local hospital treated its first AIDS patient, a crisis that had once seemed an “urban problem” had arrived in the town to stay. Working in Johnson City was Abraham Verghese, a young Indian doctor specializing in infectious diseases. Dr. Verghese became by necessity the local AIDS expert, soon besieged by a shocking number of male and female patients whose stories came to occupy his mind, and even take over his life. Verghese brought a singular perspective to Johnson City: as a doctor unique in his abilities; as an outsider who could talk to people suspicious of local practitioners; above all, as a writer of grace and compassion who saw that what was happening in this conservative community was both a medical and a spiritual emergency. Out of his experience comes a startling but ultimately uplifting portrait of the American heartland as it confronts—and surmounts—its deepest prejudices and fears.
