The Pirates of Panama (A True Account) - Enriched edition

John Esquemeling

Sinopse

John Esquemeling's 'The Pirates of Panama' is a gripping and detailed account of the infamous buccaneers who roamed the seas during the 17th century. Esquemeling's work is meticulously researched and provides a firsthand look at the brutal and lawless world of piracy. The book is written in a straightforward and journalistic style, making it a valuable historical document for scholars and casual readers alike. Esquemeling's vivid descriptions of pirate raids and exploits bring to life the harsh realities of life at sea during this tumultuous period in history. John Esquemeling, a former pirate himself, was able to provide an insider's perspective on the lives of the pirates he encountered. His firsthand experiences give the book an authenticity that sets it apart from other accounts of piracy. Esquemeling's background as a surgeon also adds a unique perspective to the medical aspects of pirate life, such as the treatment of injuries and diseases common on long sea voyages. I highly recommend 'The Pirates of Panama' to anyone interested in the history of piracy, maritime adventures, or the darker side of the Age of Exploration. Esquemeling's engaging narrative and attention to detail make this book a must-read for history enthusiasts and adventure lovers alike.

Countdown to Socialism - The...

Anthea Jeffery

With growth stalling, joblessness at crisis levels, and governance unravelling, most South Africans cannot fathom why the ANC does not embark on meaningful reform. The answer lies in what is seldom raised: the ruling party's unwavering determination to take the country by incremental steps from capitalism to socialism.
This transformation is being implemented via a Moscow-inspired 'national democratic revolution' (NDR) dating back many decades. Despite the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, the ANC/SACP alliance still sees the NDR as offering the 'most direct route' to socialism in South Africa – and hence as its bedrock strategy.
The NDR has been implemented in many different spheres since 1994. By way of example, NDR interventions have already made millions of people unemployable and the mining sector largely 'uninvestable'. They now aim at land expropriation without compensation (EWC) and the effective nationalisation of private healthcare and pensions.
The NDR is the key to understanding ANC rule over some 30 years – yet most South Africans have been kept in the dark on it. This book aims to fill that gap. Written in clear and simple language, it provides an indispensable primer on the NDR and its role in the countdown to socialism in South Africa.
