520 "Lucy's People: An Ethiopian Memoir" is the story of a
country and a life. Mesfin is Falasha, an Ethiopian Jew.
He is born to resist brutality and help others. Under
Emperor Haile Selassie I, life is delightful - until the
communists. For 17 years, the Derg régime of Ethiopia
persecutes the humane and brilliant. It torments teenage
Mesfin. Conscripted at 16, he is forced to fight a war
nobody wants. He serves as a lieutenant with special
Airborne force. Ethiopia was home to the hominid fossil
'Lucy' or Dinknesh. Her skeleton has survived for 3.2
million years. Can Ethiopia's best & brightest survive
now? Mesfin gains a degree in construction engineering in
Ethiopia. Three thousand years ago, Saba was her Engineer
Queen. Ancient Abyssinia pioneered pyramids, dams and
water technology. He wins a scholarship to study in Egypt.
Topping first year, he graduates as a civil engineer in
water development. He works all over Ethiopia. Then comes
the Tigray People's Liberation Front. Does he stay or
flee?"--Publisher's description
