Synopsis

War has been a constant companion to humanity throughout history. From the ancient battlefields of Greece and Rome to the modern conflicts of the 21st century, war has left a trail of destruction and devastation in its wake.

In this thought-provoking book, we take a deep dive into the history of warfare, exploring the causes of war, the strategies and tactics used to wage war, and the impact of war on individuals, societies, and the environment. We also examine the role of technology in warfare and how it has changed the face of battle over the centuries.

But this book is not just about the history of war. It is also about the hope for peace. We explore the efforts that have been made to prevent war, from diplomacy and negotiation to peacekeeping and disarmament. We also look at the individuals and organizations that have dedicated their lives to promoting peace and understanding around the world.

Through this exploration, we come to a deeper understanding of the challenges of achieving peace and the importance of working together to create a world where peace reigns supreme.

This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the history of warfare and the prospects for peace in the 21st century. It is a call to action for all of us to work together to create a better future for ourselves and for generations to come.

How to Fix (unf*ck) a Country -...

Roy Havemann

After state capture, South Africa is f*cked not in a good place. The system is down. How do we reboot?

Our is not the first country to find itself in a difficult spot. China, India, South Korea, Vietnam and many others have gone from being economic basket cases to powerhouses, lifting millions out of poverty. So how can we pick ourselves up and fix things? In this book, Roy Havemann argues that right now we need to focus on six basic 'E's: Eskom, Education, Environment, Exports, Equality, and Ethics.

Havemann lays out how we can practically bring in lessons from other countries and learn from their achievements and mistakes, for example, how China, Greece and Colombia solved load-shedding, how different South American countries are dealing with inequality and how Brazil and Kenya are upgrading their education systems.
He shows that we are slowly moving in the right direction. Our own 'Operation Vulindlela' delivery unit, which is a joint initiative of the Presidency and the Treasury, is implementing change where it's needed but more can be done to accelerate reforms to make South Africa a success. Sometimes the solutions to our problems are right here in our very own country – all that is needed is for us to recognise and harness them.

Shakespeare Without a Life

Margreta de Grazia

A fascinating account of how Shakespeare's works were understood and valued by readers and writers from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, before Shakespeare's biography came to dominate readings of his plays and poetry. 
 
 
 
For almost two centuries after his death, Shakespeare had no biography. The makings of one were not available. No chronology had been devised by which to coordinate the events in his life with the writing of his works. Nor was there an archive of primary materials on which to base a life. And the only work by Shakespeare written in the first person, the Sonnets, had yet to be critically edited and incorporated into the canon. Without a biography, how could Shakespeare have been valued and understood? 
 
 
 
In Shakespeare Without a Life, Margreta de Grazia looks at aspects of Shakespeare's reception between 1600 and 1800 that have been all but lost to the now still prevailing biographical impulse. It recovers the anecdote as a form of literary criticism, retrieves the ancient category of genre as the canon's organizing rubric, demonstrates how the quest for authentic documents invalidated other forms of literary record, and reveals how the desire to forge connections between Shakespeare's life and the Sonnets occluded his self-presentation as the 'deceasèd I' of a posthumous poet.
