Cyprian Alfred Boothe is 18 years old. He is about to enlist to fight in the Rhodesian bush war together with his childhood buddy, Kenny. Inwardly, Alf is torn between fighting for the country he loves - the Jewel of Africa - and the justice of the bush war itself after having watched his family being murdered in cold blood by a group of Black freedom fighters months earlier at their farm. Nonetheless, with his friend they go to enlist in the Selous Scouts when the recruitment drive comes to their country club in Karoi with the full intention of lawfully avenging the murder of his family. However, the two pot smoking teenagers are not prepared with what occurs at the temporary recruitment centre. They realise too late that all warring sides of the bush war are present and what’s worse the enemy is not only outside but within the hall as well and the one within is one of their own, and they just can’t walk away because no one is allowed to. What people are saying about this book: “This is one book which everyone should have in their collection of must have books. Compelling and no holds barred Rhodesian historical fiction which takes no sides. It is worthwhile to read and after reading, totally unforgettable.” - Pandari Circle “The social and political commentary that is woven in the story is thought provoking and challenges you to re-evaluate what you think you know about Rhodesia and the causes of the bush war.” The New Parade “This is a must read. The noirish characters in this story will impress themselves on you like you’ve been hit with a bare knuckled fist. The language is strong but is weaker than the theme. Also the narrative seamlessly moves from the plots present time to the past and back again, even reaching into this future with its accurate predictions of the ‘warvetocracy.’” - Horizon Magazine [more]

The unity of Italy, which the statesmen of Europe and all save a small number of the Italians themselves still regarded as an utopia when it was on the verge of accomplishment, was, nevertheless, desired and foreseen by the two greatest intellects produced by the Italian race. Dante conceived an Italy united under the Empire, which returning from a shameful because self-imposed exile would assume its natural seat in Rome. To him it was a point of secondary interest that the Imperial Lord happened to be bred beyond the Alps, that he was of Teutonic, not of Latin blood. If the Emperor brought the talisman of his authority to the banks of the Tiber, Italy would overcome the factions which rent her, and would not only rule herself, but lead mankind. Vast as the vision was, Dante cannot be called presumptuous for having entertained it. The Rome of the Caesars, the Rome of the Popes, had each transformed the world: Italy was transforming it for a third time at that moment by the spiritual awakening which, beginning with the Renaissance, led by inevitable steps to the Reformation. The great Florentine poet had the right to dream that his country was invested with a providential mission, that his people was a chosen people, which, by its own fault and by the fault of others, had lost its way, but would find it again. Such was Dante's so-called Ghibelline programme--less Ghibelline than intensely and magnificently Italian. His was a mind too mighty to be caged within the limits of partisan ambitions. The same may be said of Machiavelli. He also imagined, or rather discerned in the future, a regenerate Italy under a single head, and this, not the advancement of any particular man, was the grand event he endeavoured to hasten. [more]

"When the missionaries arrived, the Africans had the land and the missionaries had the Bible. They taught us to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible.“- Jomo Kenyatta, First President of Kenya, Africa. We want to look at the religions in Africa here, for this it is necessary to know something about Africa. Knowing its geography, its history. Understanding the history of Africa can help us understand the crises of development and identity that Africa is facing today. In the nineteenth century, Africa was colonized by the great European powers - through conquest and through treaties. A limited infrastructure for the export of raw materials was created under the colonial rule. An administrative apparatus was created to run the business of colonial efforts. The economy was organized around the production of raw materials that were processed in Europe. [more]
