Summary
The Way of a Warrior
Michael N. is a wild child. On his sleigh, he races down the snowy slopes of the forest, almost unable to brake. He leaves his home in South Tyrol in the early 80s, determined to become a Catholic priest. Eventually he turns his back on Europe and joins the Jesuits in South America, where the Catholics priests have sided with the powerless and humiliated.
Eight years later, as the head of the Bolivian guerilla troop, he commits terrorist attacks and kidnaps Bolivia′s Coca-Cola boss. Several months later, he dies in a hail of police bullets, taking with him the kidnapee and almost every commando member. He leaves behind letters addressed to his family, audio recordings of religious and Bolivian folk songs, and a stunned and speechless family, along with the diary of a kidnapping.
1990. The Wall has come down. The Cold War and all the ardent visions that went with it are declared over and forgotten. No one is interested in the boy who wanted to become a priest and bring God′s Kingdom to one of the poorest countries in the world. Ten years later, Europe is confronted with a new generation of educated idealistic young men: men who are deadly serious about God′s Kingdom on Earth.
