This is a simple but perennially recurring African story which must be read by women of all walks of life who have been cheated on or raped by chauvinistic men. It has contemporary relevance even in America. When you look at Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Edwards, (may she rest in peace), Sandra Bullock, O.J. Simpson’s wife (may she rest in peace), Scott Peterson’s wife (may she rest in peace), Oprah Winfrey, Maya Angelou and Elin Woods Nordegren and many others who are not as famous, you will see that cheating, rape, abuse and disrespect still rages in this God’s country. I am always drawn to a woman because she has some compassionate wisdom and tenderness which I first found in my mother and subsequently several other women. My mother is a woman, my sisters are women, my children are girls, and just as I hate my female relatives to be subjected to shame, disrespect, bias, sexual violence, domestic violence and painful divorce, so do I not want any female go through these. Most men are sexual aggressors. However, to me, the only sexual activity that doesn’t come with guilt is the one between the legal union of two people. Sex in the unmarried union, whether in the Western type of dating, or rape comes with guilt and consequences. No wonder there are so many failed marriages and broken homes. For us human beings, everything we do in truth, honesty, compassion and kindness makes us the genuine Homo sapiens that we should be. These days we think adultery, fornication, some marriages and war are right. I think that maybe God’s commandments (I have no problems with them) are obsolete because there seems to be a New World Order and we should pray to him to bring new ones to refl ect all these follies. As I have always realized, Homo sapiens should actually be called Homo stultus because we appear to be more foolish, wicked, and unforgiving than even animals. Without women the continuity of humankind will be put to a halt. Women suff er. Mary suffered a lot to see her son crucified by sinful men and that is enough. This is the tragic story of Agya Sei, a bigamist. It is set in Ghana and involves the eternal themes of power and the corruption of the individual (and a society) enthralled with its attainment. It is a colorful, fluid and ultimately engaging story.

In 1953, when Dorothy Stephens and her husband lived in married student housing at the University of Michigan, she envisioned a safe, conventional life ahead. She never imagined living in Kenya toward the end of the Mau Mau uprising, plunged into an exotic new world, facing safari ants, wild bees, and a vicious monkey, and discovering a core of strength deep in her security-loving soul. See Kenya through her eyes in its last tumultuous days as a British colony and witness the transformative effect on her life. Meet the emerging young leaders of the independence movement and the fascinating women who became her friends. Travel to Murchison Falls in Uganda and to Ngorongoro Crater in Tanganyika. Accompany her, with her house servant and three young children, on a three-hundred-mile drive to the Kenya coast through desolate bush inhabited by big game, a trip that had a profound and lasting impact.

Set against the southern African canvas of war and upheaval is the story of the famous San soldiers who fought first for the Portuguese in Angola, then for South Africa from bases in northern Namibia. When South Africa withdrew to make way for Namibian independence, many of these soldiers and their dependants came to South Africa where, after 13 years in tents, they moved into small houses on the outskirts of Kimberley. Beyond the bare bones of this story, remarkable in itself, lies a process of devastating displacement that has never fully been explored. Angolan and Caprivian communities had been wrenched apart by war, and for many neither reunification nor closure had been possible since the sudden Portuguese evacuation of Africa in the mid-1970s. David Robbins travelled with a small group of these discarded San soldiers on a journey into their respective pasts so that he could tell their stories. The result is "On the Bridge of Goodbye", a book rich in insight and emotion that culminates deep in the Angolan bush, and also in the very marrow of human loss and endurance.

The untold story of Rhodesian special forces and their defense of British Colonies in Africa during the Cold War, told by a soldier who was there. In Secret SAS Missions in Africa, a former senior member of the little-known C (Rhodesia) Squadron of Britain’s Special Air Service recounts their military operations in Africa during the Cold War. The Squadron was involved in almost continuous anti-communist operations over the period 1968 to 1980. In the unstable final stages of British colonial rule, the Squadron was constantly on the move. African nationalist movements, backed by Russia and China, posed a constant and deadly threat to colonial regimes. Small detachments of the SAS, with highly developed bush warfare skills, proved devastatingly effective at countering rebel factions in Kenya, Mozambique, Rhodesia, and elsewhere on the continent.

Clara Usiskin has spent eight years investigating the "War on Terror" and its effects in the East and Horn of Africa, documenting hundreds of cases of rendition, secret detention and targeted killings. As a result of her work exposing abuses carried out by regional governments and their international partners, Clara was deported from Kenya and Uganda and is currently persona non grata in both countries. Her book sets out the historical background to today's covert war, including the early Somali jihads and British repression in colonial Kenya, through to the 1998 US Embassy Bombings in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, and President Clinton's early rendition programme. America's Covert War in East Africa then looks at the US Military's new Africa Command, with its emphasis on counterterrorism, alongside increasing use of targeted killings by security forces in the region, and continued renditions and secret detention. Finally, Usiskin investigates the shorter and longer term consequences of such intensive militarisation, and the proliferation of surveillance and other technologies of control in East Africa and its surrounding waters, focussing in particular on their impact on vulnerable ethnic and religious groups in a highly volatile region.

In this book, Sister Angelita tells her story of those 15 years in Nigeria. Sister Angelita did all this missionary activity while constantly begging for prayers and financial support to carry on her work. Her love of God shines through in everything that Sister Angelita accomplished. During her worst tribulations, and there were many, her constant prayer was “God is Good”. Indeed, each of the stories Angelita relates in her little book radiates her dependence on Divine Providence. The chapters show how God worked through her to ease the afflictions of body, soul, and spirit of the people she loved so much. Because of her, their lives became a little more bearable. This little dynamo of a person never takes “no” for an answer. When the going gets tough, she works all the harder to accomplish her objectives. I know of no one with a more determined spirit. Sister Angelita and I have known each other for 45 years and this is my testimony to a woman of God who radiates the words of Jesus: “Live in Me as I do in you ... those who live in Me and I in them will bear much fruit.” John 14:4-5 Sarah E.

'You may never have been, may never go, may never even have heard of the place – but Malawi will repay your attention. It is one of the smallest, poorest countries in Africa, often overlooked; but its relationship with us in the West has been extraordinary.' In a ruined dictator's palace, Alexander Chula – a classicist-turned-doctor, fresh out of Oxford – stumbles upon an oak treasure chest. Inside is a priceless, antique edition of Julius Caesar's Gallic War. This unexpected talisman of Western high culture belongs to the mercurial Dr Banda, a man of many parts: scholarly physician, anti-colonial hero, brutal tyrant, and fallen philosopher-king. Banda leads the author deep into the heart of this mysterious country, there to uncover a bizarre meeting of worlds: between one of Africa's most fascinating indigenous cultures and the best and worst of our own. Here tribal ritual collides with Greek theatre; masked dancers with roving classicists; poets and pop stars with missionary-explorers; hippies and kleptocrats with long-suffering peasants. The story is enigmatic but exhilarating, by turns edifying and deeply uncomfortable. But we would do well to examine it: Malawi presents urgent lessons which resonate piercingly in our vexed age of culture wars and identity crisis.
