In the Shadow of a Saint: A Son's Journey to… di Ken Wiwa
Not as enjoyable or well written as the fictionalized version (Eclipse by Richard North Patterson.) Best parts were the meetings with Steve Biko's and Aung San's children about shared experiences.
What is it like to be the child of a man who has decided to dedicate his life to a cause? Ken Wiwa writes about his life with a father who took on the cause of his Nigerian people, Shell, and the Nigerian government. After his father is executed he searches out the children of other martyrs/heroes to compare and understand their shared experiences. This book also explores Wiwa's coming to terms with his father's choices.
Reading this with Amy's celebration of Nigerian Independence Day in mind. Check out the event's details here: there's still time to add a book to your reading pile too!
