If you like nonfiction-that reads like a suspenseful novel, enlightens, and inspires-then multiple award-winning "PATH to FREEDOM: My Story of Perseverance" is for you. Its author, upon graduating from West Point, unwittingly returned to a government which had become a dictatorship-overnight. Its leaders were obsessed about him being a spy for the United States. The Smithsonian displays the historically-accurate, coming-of-age memoir in its Anacostia Museum Library. The United States Library of Congress lists "PATH to FREEDOM" in its catalog. Little about Conrad Taylor''s upbringing in a vibrant, remote mining town-deep in the impenetrable tropical rainforests of Guyana, South America-prepared him for West Point. An extraordinary opportunity for most, attending the highly-regimented United States Military Academy was a life-changer for him. Enduring culture shock, navigating rude awakenings, and surviving the rigorous West Point Experience hardened Taylor for a return to a government turned repressive, anti-American, and paranoid-overnight. Paranoid about regime change, leaders of the dictatorship were fearful that the young graduate was a spy for the United States, because of his connection to West Point. His was the impossible task of proving that he was not-or else! PATH to FREEDOM: My Story of Perseverance offers a ringside seat to the cultural trauma of emigration, the unique experience that is West Point, the personal side of superpower geopolitics, and the toxicity of ethnic politics. The narrative charts a sometimes-humorous journey of resilience, hope, survival, and love. Its revelations will be nostalgic for some, shocking to many, and enlightening for others. Its subtly-threaded love story will enchant - at the very least.PATH to FREEDOM has a simple proposition. Fly-or-die!
