Through My Silence: What I Did and What I Did Not
They will remember me as a monster. But who built the monster?"
History remembers headlines, not whispers. Through My Silence: What I Did and What I Did Not is a searing, confessional memoir that wrestles with truth, betrayal, and the power of narrative.
In this haunting account, Habtamu Abuye gives voice to the silenced figure who became the world's most vilified symbol-exploring the divide between the man he was, the causes he served, and the legend others created in his name.
From a quiet childhood shaped by faith and humility, to the battlefields of Afghanistan, to the accusations that rewrote his existence after September 11, this book pulls back the curtain on how myths are forged and monsters manufactured.
It is not a denial, nor a boast-it is a plea for complexity in a world that prefers simplicity. It asks:
Who decides who is remembered as villain or hero?
Where does responsibility end-at words, at actions, or at the shadows cast by both?
And when the truth is buried beneath politics and power, can silence itself become the last form of resistance?
Powerful, unsettling, and deeply human, Through My Silence forces readers to confront uncomfortable questions about history, justice, and the fragile line between truth and myth.
