Media Reviews
"[A] powerful account of what it means to grow up in the shadow of such a sainted father...[T]he later chapters possess a meditative depth and journalistic energy that make for a rewarding journey...Wiwa has found a way to carry forward his father's memory and convictions, troubling the myth while honoring the man's courage and cause."
