"Ike Chime delivers a tour de force with this work. His recollections of his war-time experiences are vested with a uniqueness of his situation at the cusp of manhood at the time. Chime distills complex and harrowing events into a clear, lucid narrative. Once again, this is an important addition to Civil War historiography - kudos."--

Did you know this about the famous Finnish Temple Square Church, which was build 1968-69 into a rock:
Before the construction of the church was even fully complete it made headlines when on the nights of 16 and 17 July 1968 a group of Christian students painted in large letters "BIAFRA" in several places on the exterior walls of the building to bring attention to the famine then going on in Biafra, which had declared independence from Nigeria in 1967. The argument of the students - then part of the '60s student revolutionary movement - was that the money spent on the new lavish church could be better spent on aid to Biafra and elsewhere in Africa.
In loving memory of Chi Modu, who sadly passed away due to a long unbeknownst to us illness, but had still found it in him to endorse his friends book.
Also check out Ike’s new music for meditation:
Come and join to celebrate a family man, friend and amazing role model and get to know about his latest book and music.
