"This book is the first-person account of a unique and multifaceted story.<br>It is a reflection on the human condition.<br>It is the story of a childhood deeply rooted in the aristocratic origins of Mandingo society during the colonial period, with its traditions, myths, imagination, and values, transmitted by families and lineages, through the words of a mother who embodies all the ancestral wisdom, and of a wife who is endearing and dignified. This is the story of a young man enrolled in the School of the Revolution who would eventually become a leader engaged in the work of building the new nation born of Guinea's independence, conquered in 1958.<br>It is the story and analysis of the brutal and violent ruptures of 1984-1985, already set against a backdrop of ethno-political conflicts driven by the political and administrative elites of a still fragile nation, tearing itself apart, with its share of physical and moral suffering, exclusion, and exile.<br>It is the story of the construction of the maturity of a technocrat who reached the summit of national and African decision-making bodies on public policy; the story of his involvement in international relations, fostering meetings with historic leaders of liberation movements and Pan-Africanism.<br>It is an analysis of the hopes of the democracy rebuilt in 2010... and its renewed disappointments. It is, finally, the story of Mamadi Camara's future, of the future of his entire generation. A future that continues...for a long time to come.<br><strong>Bailo Télivel DIALLO</strong><br><strong>Former Guinean Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research</strong>
