Synopsis

War Zone Doctor plunges readers into the harrowing reality of providing healthcare amid modern warfare, where medical ethics collide with the chaos of battle. The book’s central theme explores how doctors and aid workers navigate impossible choices—like prioritizing patients based on survivability rather than urgency—while facing shortages, bombings, and moral ambiguity. Through visceral accounts from conflicts in Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan, it reveals how war reshapes public health systems, turning hospitals into targets and healers into casualties. One striking insight details how surgeons improvise trauma care in basements during sieges, while another exposes the deliberate targeting of medical facilities, exemplified by the 2016 U.S. bombing of a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz.

 
The book uniquely blends gripping narratives from frontline medics with sharp analysis of military tactics and humanitarian law. Structured in three sections, it progresses from raw, on-the-ground challenges to systemic critiques of politicized aid and eroded medical neutrality. Authors use declassified reports, satellite imagery, and MSF mission logs to trace correlations between arms shipments and attacks on healthcare—a tactic termed “health as a weapon.” Its interdisciplinary approach bridges military history and public health, offering practical insights for both policymakers and aid workers, such as protocols for trauma-informed care.

 
What sets War Zone Doctor apart is its balance of human stories and data-driven accountability. A chapter dissecting the Kunduz bombing interweaves survivor testimonies with a forensic breakdown of investigative failures, embodying its call to protect medical neutrality. Written in urgent yet accessible prose, the book serves as both a testament to frontline medics’ resilience and a demand for global action—reminding us that even in war, humanity must not surrender.

You Can't Kill a Man Because of...

Brad Snyder

The story of a young, Black Communist Party organizer wrongly convicted of attempting to incite insurrection and the landmark case that made him a civil rights hero. 
 
 
 
Decades before the impeachment of an American president for a similar offense, Angelo Herndon was charged under Georgia law with "attempting to incite insurrection"—a crime punishable by death. In 1932, the eighteen-year-old Black Communist Party organizer was arrested and had his room illegally searched and his radical literature seized. Charged under an old slave insurrection statute, Herndon was convicted by an all-white jury and sentenced to eighteen to twenty years on a chain gang. 
 
 
 
A legal odyssey of Herndon's narrow escape from certain death because of his unpopular political beliefs, You Can't Kill a Man Because of the Books He Reads explores Herndon's journey from Alabama coal miner to Communist Party organizer to Harlem hero and beyond. Brad Snyder tells the stories of the diverse coalition of people who rallied to his cause and who twice appealed his case to the US Supreme Court. They forced the Court to recognize free speech and peaceable assembly as essential rights in a democracy—a landmark decision in 1930s America as well as today.

Seven Myths About Education

Daisy Christodoulou

In this controversial new book, Daisy Christodoulou offers a thought-provoking critique of educational orthodoxy. Drawing on her recent experience of teaching in challenging schools, she shows through a wide range of examples and case studies just how much classroom practice contradicts basic scientific principles. She examines seven widely-held beliefs which are holding back pupils and teachers:Facts prevent understandingTeacher-led instruction is passiveThe 21st century fundamentally changes everythingYou can always just look it upWe should teach transferable skillsProjects and activities are the best way to learnTeaching knowledge is indoctrinationIn each accessible and engaging chapter, Christodoulou sets out the theory of each myth, considers its practical implications and shows the worrying prevalence of such practice. Then, she explains exactly why it is a myth, with reference to the principles of modern cognitive science. She builds a powerful case explaining how governments and educational organisations around the world have let down teachers and pupils by promoting and even mandating evidence-less theory and bad practice.This blisteringly incisive and urgent text is essential reading for all teachers, teacher training students, policy makers, head teachers, researchers and academics around the world.
