Synopsis
Wilson and Jackson are living testament to a vanishing way of life on the African savannah. They are two brave warriors of the Maasai, an intensely proud culture built on countless generations steeped in the mystique of tradition, legend and prophecy. They represent the final generation to literally fight for their way of life, coming of age by proving their bravery in the slaying of a lion. They are the last of the great warriors. Yet, as the first generation to fully embrace the modern ways and teachings of Western civilization, the two warriors have adapted--at times seamlessly, at times with unimaginable difficulty--in order to help their people. They strive to preserve a disappearing culture, protecting the sanctity of their elders while educating and providing for their young. Personifying change in this watershed moment in their history, the warriors uniquely embody what it means to carry the weight of their forbearers while embracing the advancements of contemporary culture and technology. As emerging leaders in their community, their courageous struggle to achieve this balance unfolds exquisitely in their story. The lessons they learn as students at Free The Children schools, their inner turmoil and the choices they must make have a global resonance. And for Wilson and Jackson, the very existence of their people hinges on their success. It has become their greatest battle., How two young Maasai tribesmen became warriors, scholars, and leaders in their community and to the world. They are living testament to a vanishing way of life on the African savannah.

While their struggle to achieve this balance unfolds exquisitely in this story, their discoveries resonate well beyond the Maasai Mara. , How two young Maasai tribesmen became warriors, scholars, and leaders in their community and to the world.

    Package arrived from Skokie, IL to southeast Michigan in three days. Book was wrapped well in an large outer plastic mailing envelope and in a second large plastic mailing envelope inside . Book was in the condition described and even has the errata sheet insert. I had no problems with the seller, and I would buy from them again. Good sale.

    Purchased on 08.26.2025 and rec'd as described on 09.02.2025 (after Labor Day holiday). Two text books were individually wrapped in plastic, wrapped together in another plastic baggie and then placed in a padded envelope. Very happy w/ the extra protection taken in shipping the text books. Thank you.
