Produktbeschreibung
Living as a black man in America poses many obstacles. Making the choice to do something positive, I chose the life of becoming a career soldier during the most defining moments in American history, when the rules shifted with unexpected end results. This memoir is a full-spectrum story of love, war deployments, stereotypes, racism, failure, and triumph. A soundtrack was produced by the author, and this series will be the first of its kind. From Thrown Stones is a tribute to the American soldier that America has never met, the firsthand perspective of a soldier forced to survive in the streets, and a tactical guide of Dos and Don'ts for young African Americans living in the United States. These pages will make you ask yourself, Does slavery still exist in America? And why does the world favor some over others? Sometimes it's luck, sometimes it's fate, sometimes it's skill, sometimes it's hate, but in some rare cases...sometimes it's destiny!

Autorenporträt
Solomon Smith was born January 12, 1977, in a Harlem hospital. Raised in Harlem, he was an only child in a big extended family. Solomon was always different, and being the only child made him a natural fighter. Trained by some of the best martial artists out of New York, Solomon became a man of various talents and skills, but music, science fiction, and cooking were his passions. In 1997, he enlisted in the United States Army. Still actively pursuing his dreams, Solomon had to become a chameleon in order to achieve them, and for twenty years he did, ending in the most unexpected way. From Thrown Stones is the first of many memoirs. Solomon started writing and creating role-playing games when he was seven years old. He has written many stories, mostly science fiction, and he has written and produced music ranging from R&B to hip-hop. Solomon currently resides in Kannapolis, NC.
