BRITISH COLUMBIA, VANCOUVER, CANADA, May 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Michael Gloukhov’s gripping memoir, ‘Sofia-Brussels-Washington: From Serfdom to Freedom to Self-Accomplishment: Finding the American Dream,’ invites readers on a powerful journey across continents and ideologies—from the shadows of totalitarian Bulgaria to the promise of liberty in America.

Born during the devastating 1944 bombing of Sofia, Gloukhov grew up in a fractured family and a politically repressive system. Despite societal pressure, he refuses to join the Communist Party, choosing instead a more dangerous path: freedom. His escape to Brussels marks the beginning of a determined climb—starting as a cab driver and culminating in a doctorate in political science.

But Gloukhov’s aspirations do not stop at academic success. In Brussels, he meets an American diplomat, and their cross-cultural love story leads him to the United States. Driven by a deep sense of gratitude and commitment to liberty, he joins the U.S. Navy Reserve at the age of 43. With his linguistic skills and global insight, he contributes first as a journalist for Voice of America and later transitions to Naval Intelligence.

This memoir is a vivid history of Cold War politics, refugee resilience, and the enduring human quest for freedom and purpose. Readers drawn to immigrant success stories, political history, or military service will find Gloukhov’s account both timely and timeless.

Gloukhov writes with clarity, honesty, and a deep sense of appreciation for the opportunities found in the West. His experiences illuminate the hardships of authoritarian regimes while celebrating the power of perseverance and belief in one’s destiny.

Currently living in the U.S. with his wife, former Miss Dobrinka Droumeva, and their son, Ryan, Gloukhov reflects on his life not through the lens of victimhood, but as a celebration of hard-won liberty.

‘Sofia-Brussels-Washington: From Serfdom to Freedom to Self-Accomplishment: Finding the American Dream’ stands as an inspiring tribute to the pursuit of the American Dream—and a deep reminder that freedom, once earned, should never be taken for granted.
