From the dusty playgrounds of Beirut at the height of the Lebanese civil war to the magical streets of Paris. From chic corporate offices in Chicago to the inside of a Lebanese prison. From the lawless, mining fields of the Democratic Republic of Congo to a make-shift mobile theatre and hopeful communes in Liberia, West Africa. This memoir is about growing up in violence, yearning for peace, finding it only in friends and in sport. Discovering family, friends and sinister enemies, this story is about love and revenge, hope and heartbreak, risk and betrayal. But at its heart is the story of a man who is unafraid to take names. Names of people who are insulated in their fortresses and mansions, weaving lies and polarizing people, birthing wars, famine and violence.
This raw and unabashed journal describes the life of Adam Zaarour as he traverses across the world, searching for a peaceful and prosperous life. A life seized by powerful politicians, leaders and businessmen. This book is an attempt at exposing these 'untouchable elites'. It births the desire to hold them accountable for their unforgivable crimes against humanity and the earth. This is not just a memoir but a tool for redemption.view less
