70 Days of Night - 33 Trapped...

Emma Sepúlveda Pulvirenti

"I also remind you that it was us women who held strong when everything was lost to get them out, because we women are fighters. Pass this on to the other 32."

Excerpt from a letter by Marta Salinas, wife of miner Jonni Barrios.

"What happens in the mine, stays in the mine," said one of the 33 miners trapped in the tunnel of the San José mining site in northern Chile. But that wasn´t the case. Writer Emma Sepúlveda traveled to the scene of the accident from the very beginning and stayed for weeks, until the rescue, interviewing the wives of the trapped miners who played a decisive role in bringing them back alive. She also spoke with union leaders, government authorities, local parliamentarians, religious representatives, psychologists, miners, and dozens of temporary inhabitants of Camp Hope who were part of this unique epic.

With countless testimonies and privileged access to letters sent from the depths of the mine, the author reconstructs the hidden side of the story: the causes of the accident, the intimate feelings of those trapped, the frantic search, and the maneuvered rescue. This book brings to light what was left unsaid and debates what was done without thinking. It exposes the media-political manipulation of the operation and reveals the true heroes of the story.

Alternative History of Britain...

Timothy Venning

Continuing his exploration of the alternative paths that British history might so easily have taken, Timothy Venning turns his attention to the Hundred Years War between England and France. Could the English have won in the long term, or, conversely, have been decisively defeated sooner? 
 
 
 
Among the many scenarios discussed are what would have happened if the Black Prince had not died prematurely of the Black Death, leaving the ten-year-old Richard to inherit Edward IIIs crown. What would have been the consequences if France's Scottish allies had been victorious at Neville's Cross in 1346, while most English forces were occupied in France? What if Henry V had recovered from the dysentery that killed him at 35, giving time for his son Henry VI to inherit the combined crowns of France and England as a mature (and half-French) man rather than an infant controlled by others? And what if Joan of Arc had not emerged to galvanize French resistance at Orleans? 
 
 
 
While necessarily speculative, all the scenarios are discussed within the framework of a deep understanding of the major driving forces, tensions, and trends that shaped British history and help to shed light upon them.
