Map, Meredith Hall, cloth, April 2007, $24.95, 978-0-8070-7273-8
Oprah Magazine, review in the April issue: “Hall offers a testament

unconscious or unkind, have made us who we are.” —Francine Prose,
Oprah Magazine
gettrio.com, review posted March 21st: “Think for a moment of Shakespeare’s
The Winter’s Tale, of banishment, reconciliation, redemption, and you’ll
get the scope of Without a Map, the new memoir by Meredith Hall . . . An extraordinary
tale, made all the more moving by Hall’s unsentimental prose and ample
heart.” (http://www.gettrio.com/newsletters/2007/03/21/)
“Aidan Delgado is a powerful, eloquent writer. His description of how
he was transformed by the horrors of Iraq is unforgettable. He is a diamond
in the rough, sandblasted in the desert of Iraq.” —Amy Goodman,
Democracy Now!
“Delgado’s deep sense of patriotism inspired him to join the Army
after 9/11, ultimately leading to his ‘boots on the ground’ nightmare
in Iraq. His insight helps you understand the desperation of soldiers and
the tragic and inevitable path leading to the photographs from Abu Ghraib.
This book is sure to incite and renew demands for accountability.” —Former
Brigadier General Janis Karpinski

“This marvelous book is required reading for all who want to understand
the phenomenon of Black conservatism in the most progressive group of Americans—
Black People.” —Cornel West, author of Race Matters
