Description
'Dawit Mesfin has produced a biography as brave and iconoclastic as the man himself, rescuing Eritrean nationalist Woldeab Woldemariam from the obscurity that threatened to engulf his life's work. In the process, he has made an invaluable contribution to Eritrean history.' - Michela Wrong, author of 'I didn't do it for you; how the world used and abused a small African nation'.
'This book provides a unique insight into the contribution made by a critically important figure in Eritrea's long history of asserting its identity as a nation. Woldeab Woldemariam, teacher, journalist, trade unionist and politician is justly called the father of Eritrea. In writing this book Dawit Mesfin has gone a long way towards restoring Woldeab to his rightful place. Using personal documents, interviews with those who knew Woldeab well and by scouring the archives, the author has put together a rich picture of the life and times of an extraordinary figure in Eritrean history.' - Martin Plaut, Senior Research Fellow at University of London and former BBC Africa News Editor
'Even after death, they tried to silence him. By shining light on the life of this extra ordinary nationalist hero Dawit Mesfin makes a major contribution to Eritrean history.
