The Boy and The Tower (Paperback)

I see myself as a person at war, and the battle is against evil, and the weapon I am using to defeat my adversary is the pen. My aim is to dispense, as much as I possibly can, the truth in regard to the nature of my nemesis. There is an expression which very much describes my present circumstance, and how I am able to do what I do; “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer”. I am quite literally in the trenches, on the battle field, surrounded by my enemy. Lives are lost every day in the mine field deployed by those who are sick and depraved beyond belief; ask any of those who witness the same as I, and you will, practically without exception, not be told anything about what they have seen and heard, or a claim will be made that they have seen or heard nothing.

The author was given the name, Nigel, at birth, a very common name in Britain, and seven days later conforming to Jewish custom, a circumcision ceremony was performed and he was given both the Hebrew name Tovia and the Yiddish equivalent Tevia, both names imply the blessings and goodness that God bestows. In later years whilst living in Israel he adopted the Hebrew name Eitan, which implies stoicism and impetuousness. All these terms, expressions, are a reflection of his nature. He has depth and complexity, but can display banality, depending on his mood, or the time of day. Due to fate, circumstance, destiny, (whatever term deemed appropriate), over recent years he has not just engaged in a battle with himself in order to become fully actualized, but also a nation called, Canada. He admits that he neither wanted, nor desired, many things that have encroached on the lifestyle he sought to acquire for himself, but by conquering each obstacle placed in his path, he managed to realize himself in a span of time previously never imagined possible, and as a consequence, figured out why the world is in the state it is now.
