About the author

An unconventional approach was taken to write this book, a collaborative effort by all of General Merid Negussie children. The process of writing this book began from an incomplete autobiography by Merid himself. After his death, his children sought out to finish the story of their father. Each contributed personal stories, letters, and memories to create the collective piece. Over a span of 30 years, the siblings, spread out between the USA, Europe, and Ethiopia, gathered old notes, carried out hundreds of interviews, and conducted extensive research to put together a well-evidenced timeline and narration of Merid's life.
