About Path To Freedom: My Story Of Perseverance
Product Description If you like nonfiction - that reads like a suspense 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 obsessed about him being a spy for the United States - because of West Point. The Smithsonian displays the historically-accurate, coming-of-age memoir in its Anacostia Museum Library. Little about Conrad Taylor's upbringing in a vibrant remote mining town - deep in impenetrable tropical rain forests 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 dealing with an anti-American totalitarian government fearful of the young graduate being in cahoots with the United States to effect regime change. 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! Review "We are proud to announce that Path to Freedom: My Story of Perseverance by Conrad Taylor is a B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree. This tells a reader that this book is well worth their time and money!" - indieBRAG (5 out of 5 stars) "This is an unusual book, which will become better and better known. The love subplot is as Guyanese as spice mangoes... It gives authentic samples of Guyanese life, especially during the time before he left his homeland... There is a vivid description of life at WestPoint. This book chronicles the hardships they faced and the eventual epic journey to freedom that Conrad made. A high virtue of the book and its author is the rigid truth telling..." - Eusi Kwayana, Author and Historian "Path to Freedom: My Story of Perseverance, Conrad Taylor's captivating memoir, is an extremely interesting read, thanks to Taylor's talent for illustrating his life's journey in such a fascinating way that I found this book difficult to put down until the end. For those looking to be inspired, as well as broaden their knowledge about Guyana and Third World political affairs, this commendable memoir is highly recommended." - Lit Amri, Readers' Favorite Reviewer (5 out of 5 stars) "This book chronicles the hardships they faced and the eventual epic journey to freedom that Conrad made. The book is exceptionally easy to read... The book is well written and enjoyable to read." - Walter W. Olson, Ph.D, P.E., West Point Class of 1973 (5 out of 5 stars) "Overall I found the Path to Freedom a fascinating read, with many aspects of history (the cold war) interwoven with unique viewpoints of West Point (American military training facilities) and life in Guyana as well as Conrad's relationships. There is definitely something for everyone. I don't normally read memoirs, preferring fictional accounts as my form of escapism...following my experience with Path to Freedom I will definitely branch out to more non-fiction reads this year." - Lucyx,BOOKSANDBROOCHES Blogger (4 out of 5 stars) "Conrad-I finished reading your manuscript, it was riveting! I think it should be made into a movie. You provided me with an enlightening look into a country I knew very little about, and into a fellow West Pointer who, after reading his work, I feel I could call a friend and a compatr
