Summary

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 This work not only serves as a historical document but also reflects the imperial sentiment of the era, encapsulating a moment when Britain grappled with its role on the global stage.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. Doyle's firsthand perspective and comprehensive analysis offer a unique window into a pivotal moment in history, making it a requisite read for anyone seeking to understand the interplay of history, politics, and human experience.

    From the author of I Hate Men, a personal and political reflection on abortion rights. 
 
 
 
Discussion about abortion and associated rights are often limited to either "anti-abortion" or "pro-choice," the latter of which focuses on the importance of having the right to choose, rather than on what that right means for real people. 
 
 
 
In this timely essay, Pauline Harmange provides an intimate, detailed account of her abortion. Reminiscent of Annie Ernaux's Happening, Abortion is nuanced, complex, honest, and precise. Harmange gives voice to the emotions, reflections, and contradictions that someone could experience when they choose to terminate a pregnancy. 
 
 
 
At a time in which women's reproductive rights are being called into question around the world, Abortion is a clarion call, a powerful personal testimony, and a resolutely political vision: to restore power to our experiences, all our experiences, by sharing them, and to transform society for the better.
