Sinossi

In "The Last Frontier: The White Man's War for Civilisation in Africa," E. Alexander Powell provides a compelling narrative that scrutinizes the complexities of colonialism in Africa from the perspective of both colonizers and the colonized. This richly detailed account combines historical analysis with Powell's engaging prose, reflecting the zeitgeist of the early 20th century when imperialistic ambitions were at their zenith. The author's firsthand experiences as a journalist in Africa lend authenticity to his vivid descriptions and critical observations, delving into the moral ambiguities surrounding the so-called 'civilizing mission.' E. Alexander Powell, an American journalist and author well-versed in international affairs, draws from his extensive travels and encounters across Africa to craft this pivotal work. His background in journalism and deep immersion in the cultures and conflicts of the continent uniquely positioned him to explore the themes of civilization and savagery, especially during the turbulent times of colonial rule. Powell'Äôs insights reflect both an era of burgeoning imperialistic fervor and burgeoning self-determination among African nations. This book is a vital read for anyone interested in the historical forces shaping modern Africa and the legacy of colonialism. Powell'Äôs nuanced exploration encourages readers to reflect critically upon the impacts of imperialism and consider the stories of those often relegated to the margins of history. "The Last Frontier" is not only an informative and thought-provoking work but also an essential addition to the discourse on race, culture, and power dynamics in a post-colonial world.

    Emotions – we feel them every second of every day, yet we have such a limited vocabulary to express them. How do we go beyond happy and sad? 
    In Atlas of the Heart (2021), Brené Brown aims to equip us with all the language tools we need to map out the wide spectrum of feelings we experience. She doesn’t tell us how we’re supposed to feel, or how to deal with emotions when they come up – it’s simply an emotional encyclopedia. Brown puts emotions into related groups, then goes into the details to help us better comprehend them and communicate them to those around us. The goal is to build deeper, more authentic connections on a foundation of mutual understanding.

    By mid-1943, British leaders, particularly Churchill, believed that while the defeat of Germany and Italy were important, victory should not be achieved at the expense of ceding control of post-war Europe to the Soviets. What went unsaid was that Churchill’s goal was British control over the Mediterranean, and his insistence on using Allied resources in the Mediterranean and working to block Russian gains even while the war was still in progress caused some of the most vituperative exchanges between Britain and America. At one point, Churchill even began to actively consider pursuing the war in the Mediterranean independently and without American support. The Chief of the British Imperial General Staff General Sir Alan Brooke, normally one of Churchill’s most ardent supporters, became concerned that his obsession with the Mediterranean was driving the prime minister beyond rational action: “I am slowly becoming convinced that in his old age Winston is becoming less and less well balanced!"[1]  
    	Nowhere were these differences more clearly exposed than during the Dodecanese Campaign, a British attempt to seize islands in the Aegean during the fall and winter of 1943. The campaign in the Aegean brought Anglo-American relations to their lowest point during the war, with the British feeling let down and perhaps even betrayed by their American allies, while the Americans believed the Aegean was relatively unimportant in the overall strategic context of the war and a potential drain on resources that would be better used elsewhere. The Dodecanese Campaign was the tragic outcome of the fundamental differences of opinion and approach between allies who otherwise worked closely and in harmony, and though nobody knew it at the time, it marked one of the last major victories for German forces who had been forced to retreat in every other theater of operations.
