  The Super Cadres - ANC Misrule...

  After taking power, the ANC implemented its policy of cadre deployment. It sought command of all levers of power, from the Cabinet, through the civil service, down to municipal level.
  Despite the party recently lasing its majority, cadre deployment will ensure that the ANC maintains its iron grip on power and patronage, and it remains fused with the state.
  In The Super Cadres, bestselling author Pieter du Toit exposes how Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki laid the foundation for complete ANC control of the state, how Jacob Zuma's ANC exploited it and why Cyril Ramsphosa is complicit in the destruction that followed.
  It is a searing critique of the ANC's desire for untrammelled power.

  During the 17th century, the Netherlands, despite having only 1.5 million people in 1600, became a global maritime and trading power. By contrast, France at the time had 20 million people, Spain had 8 million, and England had 5 million. Nevertheless, Amsterdam became one of the most important urban centers in the world and the location of the world’s first stock market, and Dutch merchant ships and pirates plied the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean. The Dutch acquired colonies in the East Indies, where they seized control of the spice trade from the Portuguese, and in the West Indies, they acquired a number of islands from the Spanish (several of which are still Dutch today). They became the only Westerners who were allowed to trade with Shogunate Japan from a small island next to Nagasaki, and they settled the town that ultimately became New York City. Naturally, all of this imperialism generated enormous amounts of wealth that flowed into the Netherlands. 
  	After the Englishman Henry Hudson, under the aegis of the Dutch East India Company, sailed by Manhattan in 1609, he returned home with good news and bad news. Like the other explorers before him, he hadn’t been able to find a water route to the Orient. He had, however, returned with maps (confiscated by the British) and beaver pelts. With that, it became clear that the region around the bay that would take Hudson’s name was a very promising new territory for trade and settlement, which would become a serious bone of contention between the Dutch and the British for the rest of the century. 
  	Dutch colonization had begun in earnest in the region, but it would only last until England’s bloodless conquest of the Dutch possessions in 1664. Prior to that, the colony was known as New Netherland (anglicized from Nieuw Nederland), and included parts of what are now Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut and New York, centered between the Delaware and Connecticut Rivers.

  The “insemination chapel” is hidden deep beneath the manor house. 
  I thought this job sounded too good to be true—working as a summer housekeeper at the billionaire’s rural hunting lodge. I didn’t realize why he actually hired me though… 
  He started by asking about my ex-girlfriend, then he demanded I wear a skimpy maid dress at all times. He’s paying well, so I decided to play along. 
  But now, deep beneath his estate, I kneel naked upon a stone altar. He’s transformed me—I need him. He says there have been dozens of young men here before me, but where are they? 
  The only thing I know for certain is that I’m in love. 
  I’m in love with his sweaty body.

  Wernher von Braun

  Here is Dr. Wernher von Braun’s incredible story – from his early years in Germany, where he gave birth to modern rocketry, to his arrival in the United States and his launching of the first American satellite, the first man on the moon and other stunning space exploration feats. “Every page of Wernher von Braun’s life is a monument to the drama of adventure. Few people have been fighting so hard and, indeed, very few have been subject to so much criticism, so much jealousy, so much defeat—yet, very few have lived to be honored and to harvest the fruits of so many wonderful victories as has this man.” Author Erik Bergaust has had the advantage of knowing von Braun as a friend, hunting and fishing companion, space business associate—and biographer—for more than twenty-five years. Thus, he has been able to present a dramatic portrait of an important personality and a 20th century hero.

  Alfred Hitchcock - A Life from...

  Alfred Hitchcock’s work is legendary, and although he himself was known as a rather quiet and subdued figure in public, those who knew him privately saw a fiery disposition and unbridled passion lurking just beneath the surface of his placid exterior. Films such as Rebecca, Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds sky-rocketed him to fame and have since led many to hail him as the greatest director of all time.
   
  Throughout his career, Hitchcock was always sure to deliver thrilling suspense and twist endings while delving into subject matters few were willing to explore. At the same time, his own personality and dark humor became a staple in popular culture through his film trailers, interviews, and the popular TV show Alfred Hitchcock Presents. This book explores both the films and the life of the “Master of Suspense”—Alfred Hitchcock.
