Haile Fida ena YeGillé Tizita by Dr Amare Tegbaru

Haile Fida ena YeGillé Tizita (My Reminiscences of Haile Fida) is a moving account of the life and death of an Ethiopian revolutionary who perished at the hands of the most brutal Ethiopian dictator some 40 years ago. It is a book imbued with passion, pain, and grief, honesty and vigor, and lucidly conveys the untold story of Haile Fida. Amare Tegbaru’s ability to record, recall, and weave a story as well as his engagingly colorful and persuasive style once again demonstrate that he is one of the most gifted writers of his generation. He has provided a refreshing, intellectual, and multifaceted story about his mentor, friend, and leader, Haile Fida. The book deserves to be read by all who wish to seek fresh knowledge, rethink the past, examine old biases, and establish fairness in their judgment of an Ethiopian socialist, humanist, artist, modernist, and internationalist of Oromo origin who championed genuine Ethiopian patriotism with universal values of human dignity, equality, and social justice.
