a Memoir of War, Disasters, and Survival

I picked this book up at the airport and read it during my flight. Simply written, it is a persuasive memoir that evokes vivid imagery for the reader. Without giving too much of the plot away, the author chronicles an assortment of experiences from dangerous, foreign, war-torn, hurricane-ravaged locales while also describing childhood memories such as his father's early death as well as his brother's suicide. Lots of chaos and conflict yet still an undeniably gripping read.
