Maybe he exaggerated, maybe not. However, I believe the key points, particularly those regarding the incidents that would have had witnesses, are probably accurate.Stephanie Elizabeth wrote: ↑02 Feb 2021, 07:04 That's a great point, and good for you for doing some research. I think the memoir is likely based on truth, but I am sure some parts are made up or embellished to make for a more interesting or controversial story. Perhaps in regards to the disruption of Fidel's speech, the author may have added this in or exaggerated parts. If all of the events happened exactly like the author described them, I think we'd be able to find this information with research.

Around halfway through the book, I chose to set aside my doubts and believe him to be a trustworthy narrator who is likely to have a very human and hence understandable bias.Brenda Creech wrote: ↑02 Feb 2021, 08:09 Overall I believe the book. Dr. Berrah's accomplishments were impressive, yet I do believe some were embellished versions. It was as if he had the 'Midas touch' where everything he did was successful (turned to gold)!

Anybody who looks back on their life is likely to see it through positive lenses that depict themselves as the protagonist of their own story.Jenniferg_1105 wrote: ↑05 Feb 2021, 11:54 I completely agree with this idea that the story is mostly true but some of it may be glamorized. A single story will often have a few differences depending of who is telling the story.

Perhaps he was completely satisfied and delighted with his work as a scientist and ambassador. As a result, when he thought back, his sole memories may have been successful and pleasant ones.Betty Gitonga wrote: ↑11 Feb 2021, 08:27 Having never heard of him before, I read the book with an open mind hoping to learn about him, and I did. Having said that, I do believe his story. There were exaggerations, but it is his story to tell. He can make it as good as he wants.
