Wanambwa: “One Who Survives”
ISBN: 0-9772345-0-9
This book is written by one of America’s most talented authors
and speakers. Edward Wanambwa. The Senior Editor of
the African American Golfer's Digest, his dynamic and inspiring
story truly reflects the meaning of his last name, “One Who Survives.”
His book is sure to captivate any audience, as he recalls of being born
in war-torn Uganda, East Africa, during the terror and violence of Idi
Amin, and how his family escaped to the United States only to lose his
father to a tragic accident. Ed had to assume responsibility at a very
young age and his story of determination and survival takes him from
the gang-infested streets of Los Angeles and onto the battlefields of
the Middle East. He pointedly shares precious family memories and his
heart-felt thoughts to help readers recognize and develop their inner
greatness.
