Haile Fida ena YeGillé Tizita (My Reminiscences of Haile Fida) is a moving account of the life and death of an Ethiopian revolutionary who perished at the hands of the most brutal Ethiopian dictator some 40 years ago. It is a book imbued with passion, pain and grief, honesty and vigour, and lucidly conveys the untold story of Haile Fida. Amare Tegbaru’s ability to record, recall and weave a story as well as his engagingly colourful and persuasive style once again demonstrates that he is one of the most gifted writers of his generation. He has provided a refreshing intellectual and multifaceted story about his mentor, friend and leader, Haile Fida. The book deserves to be read by all who wish to seek fresh knowledge, rethink the past, examine old biases and establish fairness in their judgement of an Ethiopian socialist, humanist, artist, modernist and internationalist of Oromo origin who championed genuine Ethiopian patriotism with universal values of human dignity, equality, and social justice.
