Portugal's Bush War in Mozambique

Al J. Venter

Summary

A new account of how Portugal fought a bush war in Mozambique for over a decade.Portugal fought a bush war in Mozambique — one of the most beautiful countries in the world — for over a decade. The small European nation was ranged against formidable odds and in the end was unable to muster the resources required to effectively take on the might of the Soviet Union and its collaborators—every single communist country on the planet and almost all of Black Africa. Yet, Al Venter argues, Portugal did not actually lose the war, and indeed fought in difficult terrain with a good degree of success over an extended period. It was radical domestic politics that heralded the end.  Mozambique is once again embroiled in a guerrilla war, this time against a large force of Islamic militants, many from Somalia and some Arab countries, and unequivocally backed by Islamic State and the lessons of Mozambique’s bush war are still relevant today.

Pragmatism - A New Name for Some...

William James

In Pragmatism, William James introduces and defines the philosophical movement that judges ideas and beliefs based on their practical consequences and real-world application. Drawing from thinkers like Charles Peirce, James argues that truth is not fixed or abstract but emerges from experience and utility. Through accessible lectures, he explores how pragmatism bridges the gap between science and religion, idealism and materialism, offering a flexible approach to knowledge and belief. Rooted in American intellectual tradition, the book champions open-mindedness, pluralism, and the evolving nature of truth. James presents pragmatism as both a method of inquiry and a way of life, challenging rigid dogmas while affirming the value of human experience in shaping meaning. This groundbreaking work remains foundational in modern philosophy, influencing thought across disciplines.
