What does it take to go from growing up in a Mississippi housing project to becoming a master sergeant and a celebrity chef serving in the White House under four United States presidents? Call Me Chef, Dammit! is the inspiring story of Andre Rush, who became an overnight sensation in 2018, after a photograph of his now-famous twenty-four-inch biceps went viral. However, his journey to that moment could never be captured in a fleeting moment. From his childhood working on a farm, to his developing into a gifted athlete and artist to his joining the Army, Rush has dedicated his life to serving others. During his twenty-four-year military career, his reputation as an award-winning cook eventually led him to the Pentagon. His presence in the building when the plane struck on 9/11/2001 led to his suffering from PTSD, and he has become an outspoken advocate for the military and especially for wounded warriors. Every step of the way, Chef Rush has overcome tremendous obstacles, including battling stereotypes and racism. And in this memoir, he shares not only his wounds and what he experienced along the road to recovery but also the optimism, hope, and hard-earned wisdom that have encouraged countless others.

Book Description
About the Book: the conversation continues... "Call Me Kaffir!: A calling many black South Africans still answer to..." is a brave, frank and yet narrative confrontational non-fiction opinion piece cutting across on South African historical politics, current affairs, economic, religious and socio-cultural lifestyle. The author digs deep from his soul and pulls from the gutter, the "dustbin of apartheid" and "colonial effects," on black Africans, in his subtle satirical and unapologetic writing manner, a thorny and controversial racial issue of the all forbidden "Kaffir" name and calling of back people. Through a tricky yet informative and educational narrative, it is designed to confront black South Africans for their ignorant and arrogant ways which the author argues condones and affirms the allege calling. The book describes black South Africans as a people, whom through their own black Political Government have allegedly failed most part of its constituency (themselves), while as an ignorant and arrogant people whom as he puts it, definitely have failed themselves through ignorance and stupid arrogance. A people that continues to cry foul every time they are referred to as 'Kaffir' while they continue to behave exactly like allege 'Kaffirs' at every given opportunity they get, Mr. Chiloane declares. This surely must kick up some storm and controversy. However, Lesley's writing attitude is of a hardcore confrontational nature with a twist of pun and his deliberate neglect to take any prisoners or harbor any sympathy, makes it an interesting read. The book surely lives up to its bold and controversial title, Call Me Kaffir!, which will definitely give it an edge. He asserts that, "When a people abandon and discard their own indigenous cultures and languages to worship and embrace those of the colonial slave-master at the expense of those of their own ancestors and then claim to be free and liberated, that was always going to be a recipe for disaster!" His use of pun and by occasionally mocking the reader succeeds in making the book an entertaining reader affair. By making reference to his previous book, "Compromised Democracy: The Not So Successful Side of our Freedom," while announcing his intension with his next title, "African National Criminals: The Dark Side of Liberators who became Evil People of the Lie," the author is surely cultivating a solid long term and trustworthy relationship with his readers. He has already started writing his next book, "and oh boy, the house is definitely coming down!," he promises... The piece, Call Me Kaffir!, can easily be a useful personal motivational and social educational tool judging from a variety of sources and quotes the author uses to present his deliberate bias opinions, arguments and conclusions. Lesley warns that "History will judge us harshly on our actions and so will our future generations for returning them back to economic slavery! It may have already began to punish and treat us harshly for our ignorance and sins..." The book appeals to all social, political, cultural and current affairs readers and while the author claims to have written the book for black South Africans, he however concedes it will attract both white and international readers as well.

Book Description
A mile away the white beach of a little, land-locked bay shimmered under the morning sun, and the drooping fronds of the cocos hung listless and silent, waiting for the rising of the south-east trade. "Paul," I said, "it is very hot here. Come on shore with me to the native village, where it is cooler, and I will make you a big drink of lime-juice." I helped him to rise-for he was weak from a bad attack of New Guinea fever-and two of our native crew assisted him over the side into my whaleboat. A quarter of an hour later we were seated on mats under the shade of a great wild mango tree, drinking lime-juice and listening to the lazy hum of the surf upon the reef, and the soft croo, croo of many "crested" pigeons in the branches above.
