This was one of those books and you keep talking about while taking breaks from reading.  I loved this book but I’m  sure my wife was tired of hearing about it. The approval to read the advanced reader came at the last minute.  I believe it was just a few days before publication.  The book is “Small Acts of Courage:  Legacy of Endurance and the Fight for Democracy” by Ali Velshi

But since I like Ali Velshi’s reporting,  I thought it would be worthwhile but almost certainly I would fail to review it before publication as I usually do,  First I need to thank Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for a chance to read this.

The book starts with a shot to the leg.  Certainty something a journalist would not expect. Seemed like open season on journalists.  Then  Ali Velshi explains how he got to there and to US.   And the he goes into a history of how his family migrated from India to South Africa and then Kenya and finally Canada.

A fascinating book about both the journalist as well as an inspirational and interesting family history including insights into the African and Indian independence movements.  Highly recommended.
