A few of my experiences and exploits are not recounted. This is not through lack of interest but because some part of the incident has eluded me. For example, four of us sailed a whaler into St Brides Bay one very hot summer's day. What wind there had been died and we were becalmed. To our horror, we found there were only three oars in the whaler. Trying to row something as big as a whaler with three oars is like trying to dig a 10-acre field with three gardens spades. It took us 12 hours to return to camp whereupon we were all put on charges for being absent without leave, misappropriating a Royal Naval vessel and being sunburned. In the case of the latter, the Navy's argument is that unburn is a self-inflicted wound and is therefore an offence. We were all badly sunburned. When the first lieutenant saw us, he laughed - quite hurtfully, I considered - and dismissed the charges. The reason why the story isn't included is because, for the life of me, I can't remember where we obtained the whaler nor where we set off from or returned to. Apart from that, the voyage actually took place and should be recorded as the only time I ever went to sea. In other words, I have the distinction of being a sailor who never went to sea in a ship.

Human rights abuses are rife in some regions of the world, but they tend to escape the spotlight. Eritrea is one of these countries; its citizens are kept in the dark because of the government's authoritarian rule. Education, healthcare, and the armed forces are all areas where Eritreans have reported receiving unjust treatment, and any who try to flee the nation do so at great personal risk. But this book is about more than simply Eritrea and its people's plight. It is about how strong the human will can be even when confronted with adversity. This is a story about the importance of never giving up on a better tomorrow. We learn more about the suffering and loss felt by the people of this country, as well as their resilience and fortitude, from the accounts of individuals who have lived through it. Everything about Eritrea is explored in this book, from the country's complicated history to its control of technology. This is a tale of perseverance and defiance in the face of adversity; of loss and injustice, but also of the light that may be found in the darkest of times. The plight of the people of Eritrea serves as a sobering reminder of our common humanity and of the urgency with which we must pursue justice and freedom.
