International revolutionary David Steinman was a consulting expert to the U.S. National Security Council regarding the ouster of Haiti’s Duvalier regime that began the cascade of falling right wing dictatorships at the end of the twentieth century. He later coordinated private support for Southeast Asian anti-Communist resistance groups and advised Chinese students following the Tiananmen Square Massacre.

While serving as senior foreign adviser to Ethiopia’s democracy movement, Steinman co-planned its 2004-2005 election and civil disobedience campaign voted that year’s Most Important African Event” in a BBC poll. It set in motion the momentous changes now underway in this key Western ally, Africa’s second most populous country, and inspired Money, Blood and Conscience.

This is the first novel from Steinman, whose non-fiction writing in the Washington Post, International Herald Tribune and on Forbes.com exposed the Ethiopian dictatorship’s human rights abuses, theft of thirty billion dollars from famine victims and hidden mass murder.

David Steinman has a degree in Economics from the Wharton School. He was nominated for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize.
