Living to Die - Dying to Live
From the chimneys at age four, then onto the tanks as a boy soldier and the heights as a paratrooper, from multiple immigrations to prison walls-this is a story of extraordinary resilience spanning eight decades.
Now facing Parkinson's disease, multiple dementias, strokes, and diabetes, the author draws upon seven decades of survival skills to navigate a healthcare system that has failed him. Behind locked ward doors, he encounters violence, abuse, and systemic failures that would break most people.
But this is not a story of defeat. It's the account of someone who has mastered the art of escape and evasion-not just from physical dangers, but from systems designed to strip away dignity, wealth, and hope.
A raw, unflinching memoir that exposes the hidden failures of our care institutions while celebrating the unbreakable human spirit that refuses to surrender.
"When the system fails you, survival becomes an art form."
