in 1971, Albert Repicci moved to Greenwich Connecticut to open his private practice in orthodontics and concurrently serve as a dental surgeon in the foreign missions in Africa, South America and Asia. Al‘s foreign service positioned him such that he became a special correspondent for the Greenwich Times reporting on the genocide trials in Cambodia of comrade Duch, the perpetrator of the killing fields; the Nazi war crime trials of Oskar Groening for atrocities in Auschwitz; and the devastating earthquakes in Nepal, where he got caught up in the aftershocks. He complimented his brush with journalism with creative writing and spawned several off Broadway and off off Broadway plays.

This blockbuster-ready memoir pulls you from the comfort of mid-century Americana straight onto the front lines of global history.
Follow a relentless dental student who drops everything for JFK’s funeral vigil, launching a forty-year odyssey across fifteen countries, healing hidden pain, confronting cartels, and proving that real power belongs to those who step forward.
“Becoming Albert” is a direct call to action about the immense power of presence. It explores how a regular guy from Western New York stopped sitting on the sidelines of life and chose to step forward.
The book proves that you do not need rare talents to impact history, you have to show up.
It beautifully merges both worlds. You get a front-row seat to massive global turning points, but told entirely through a deeply intimate, human lens.
The narrative seamlessly anchors earth-shaking events, like international genocide trials and the JFK assassination, to the raw, personal emotions of a man standing right there in the crowd experiencing them.
The journey spans forty years and fifteen countries across Asia, Africa, and the Western Hemisphere. You will walk through relief efforts in war-torn Rwanda, survive earthquakes in Nepal, and serve meals at Ground Zero.
The book also takes you directly inside the intense Khmer Rouge international genocide tribunals as an official special correspondent in Cambodia.
Medical skills serve as the ultimate passport to helping people in extreme crisis. In the book, dental training transforms from a standard private practice into a vital tool for global survival.
You will read about fabricating an emergency life-saving trachea splint in a military tent and cooperating with courageous nuns to build trafficking rescue shelters.
Before the global missions, the book captures a rich, cinematic look at post-war Americana in Batavia, New York. You will experience the vibrant sights of multi-ethnic neighborhoods, horse-drawn carts, and legendary sports rivalries.
These chapters deliver laugh-out-loud comedy, like sneaking under fair tents, while highlighting the strict moral upbringing that forged a lifetime of commitment.
