An idealistic American TV producer starts a charity for famine victims amid Ethiopia’s civil war…”You’re not in California here,” Ethiopia’s rebel leader-turned-prime minister Meles Zenawi reminds him. “This is a different world.”
In 1993, a prince and princess from Ethiopia’s 2,500-year-old Solomonic Dynasty reached out to an international revolutionary who’d played a behind-the-scenes role in the overthrow of Haiti’s notorious “Baby Doc” Duvalier. Could he help free Ethiopia’s most famous political prisoner and liberate its people from a reign of terror?
Now that revolutionary, David Steinman, has drawn on his extraordinary, real-life adventure as an adviser to Ethiopia’s democracy revolution to write a novel about Ethiopia’s present-day struggle for freedom. Part investigative journalism and part parable, Money, Blood and Conscience tells the story of a Hollywood executive’s love affair with an Ethiopian guerrilla fighter during Ethiopia’s civil war and the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front dicatorship that followed.
This highly acclaimed historical novel depicts the cover-up of a holocaust and raises questions about the ends and means of Western policy in shadowy places. Money, Blood and Conscience superbly portrays the fight by the world’s poorest for food and justice, drawing the reader into a magnificent, heartbreaking crusade for human dignity.
The book will provide readers interested in the current fighting in Tigray with invaluable context.
