Path to Freedom: My Story of Perseverance (Volume 1)

If you like nonfiction that reads like a novel, multiple award-winning PATH to FREEDOM: My Story of Perseverance is for you. The Smithsonian Institution archives the inspirational memoir for its value as a source of insights about the history and culture of black people in the Western Hemisphere. The world's premier collector of keepsakes displays PATH to FREEDOM: My Story of Perseverance in its Anacostia Museum Library. You can too.

The historically-accurate, coming-of-age story about survival 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 mayhem of Third World politics.Â 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 FREEDOMÂ has a simple proposition. Fly-or-die!
Â
Little about Conrad Taylor's upbringing in a vibrantÂ 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 return to a government turned repressive, anti-American, and paranoid - overnight. Paranoid about regime change, leaders of the dictatorship were fearful about the young graduate being a spy for the United States - because of West Point. His was the impossible task of proving that he was not - or else!
