Sinossi

In "The War in South Africa, Its Cause and Conduct," Arthur Conan Doyle presents a meticulous analysis of the Second Anglo-Boer War, blending vivid narrative with rigorous historical scrutiny. Written with a keenly observant eye, Doyle employs a journalistic style, rich in detail and imbued with a palpable sense of urgency, capturing the tumultuous events of 1899-1902. He delves into the motivations behind the conflict, addressing imperial ambitions as well as the experiences of soldiers and civilians, while offering insights on military strategies and ethical dilemmas faced during wartime. This work not only serves as a historical document but also reflects the imperial sentiment of the era, encapsulating a moment when Britain grappled with its role on the global stage. Arthur Conan Doyle, primarily known for his creation of Sherlock Holmes, was also a passionate commentator on socio-political issues, which heavily influenced his writing. His deep interest in military affairs, alongside personal experiences as a volunteer physician during the war, lent authenticity to his account. Doyle's dual identity as both a storyteller and a historian allows him to weave a compelling narrative that engages and informs. Readers interested in the complexities of colonial conflicts and the implications of war will find "The War in South Africa, Its Cause and Conduct" an essential addition to their library.

Biggest Battles of the Pacific...

Editors Charles River

The waters of the Pacific Ocean – stretching deep blue under the tropical sun, or scourged by typhoons – provided World War II's most far-flung battlefield. Two of the world's premier mid 20th century maritime powers, the United States of American and the Empire of Japan, grappled for supremacy across that vast expanse.  
	Although not as well-remembered as D-Day or even the attack at Pearl Harbor that preceded it, the Battle of Midway was one of the most unique and important battles fought during World War II. In fact, the turning point in the Pacific theater took place between June 4-7, 1942 as a Japanese fleet moved a sizable fleet intending to occupy Midway Island and draw the American navy near. Instead, American aircraft flying from three aircraft carriers that had been away from Pearl Harbor in December 1941 got a bearing on the Japanese fleet and sunk four Japanese aircraft carriers, permanently crippling Japan’s navy. The Battle of Midway was one of the first major naval battles in history where the enemy fleets never actually saw or came into contact with each other.  
	By the time the Battle of Midway was over, the defeat was so devastating that it was actually kept secret from all but the highest echelons of the Japanese government. Along with the loss of hundreds of aircraft and over 3,000 men killed, the four Japanese aircraft carriers lost, when compared to America’s one lost carrier, was critical considering America’s huge shipbuilding superiority. However, the Battle of Midway could also have easily turned out differently.

A Set of Six

Joseph Conrad

Each of the stories in this collection is spun from a simple, if typically wry and bleak, idea. In "Gaspar Ruiz", a South American general who has fought in a war of independence tells his guests a long tale about a notorious strong man that explains the origin of his current domestic arrangements. "The Informer" leads the reader into the depths of a political conspiracy, dealing very slyly indeed with questions of truth and pretence. In "The Brute", we are asked whether we can believe there could be such a thing as a positively malevolent ship, while "An Anarchist" introduces us to an unfortunate man who has had a vision of society itself as malevolent and has not been able to rest in peace ever since. "The Duel", the most obviously likeable tale in this collection, recounts the history of an unfortunate feud between two officers of Napoleon's army that caused them to fight a series of duels over many years. "Il Conde" rounds out the collection, giving a new twist to the saying "See Naples and die".
