About this Book

Born in 1971 in the Igbo region of Nigeria, Pete Amadi left his
impoverish family at the age of 17 after graduating from high school and
after enduring a very thorny relationship with his Uncle to search for
greener pasture. He traveled throughout West Africa, passing through
some insurmountable and most difficult experiences every step of the
way. He eventually ended up in Europe in 1992. Europe presented another
unique set of challenges to him; hence his chaotic life continued there.
In 1994 he gained admission to Abraham Balding College Tifton Georgia,
USA and eventually migrated to America in December 1994. He later
enlisted in the United Sated Marine Corps in 1996. After graduating from
California State University in 2000, and receiving a promotion to rank
of sergeant, he applied and was accepted to attend the Marine Corps
officer candidate school. He was commissioned 2nd Lt on August 2001. He
went on to command troops and served many tours of duty in more than
four continents including a combat tour in Iraq. He also served as a
military observer with the United Nations both in Liberia and Haiti. He
is currently a Major in the United States Marine Corps (RES).
