When I read through this compendium of reflections, I see in all of it a constructive critical x-ray of a blessed Nation that has undergone systematic degradation. Cameroon is a Nation blessed with a variety of natural and quality human resources. On the overall, some Cameroonians are peace-loving, law-abiding, patriotic and could even be termed God-fearing. But what accounts for the very high degree of poverty, corruption, bribery, embezzlement, multi-party electoral fraud, unemployment and decadence in all its forms? All of us Cameroonians are responsible for this brazen sad situation. We do not assume our roles and responsibilities adequately and we blame our situation on others. The Universal Church on whom we ought to count does not seem to be helping the situation either. Unspeakable indeed!

The universal jubilation that greeted Nelson Mandela's inauguration as president of South Africa in 1994 and the process by which the nightmare of apartheid had been banished is one of the most thrilling, hopeful stories in the modern era: peaceful, rational change was possible and, as with the fall of the Berlin Wall, the weight of an oppressive history was suddenly lifted. R.W. Johnson's major new book tells the story of South Africa from that magic period to the bitter disappointment of the present. As it turned out, it was not so easy for South Africa to shake off its past. The profound damage of apartheid meant there was not an adequate educated black middle class to run the new state and apartheid had done great psychological harm too, issues that no amount of goodwill could wish away. Equally damaging were the new leaders, many of whom had lived in exile or in prison for much of their adult lives and who tried to impose decrepit, Eastern Bloc political ideas on a world that had long moved on. This disastrous combination has had a terrible impact - it poisoned everything from big business to education to energy utilities to AIDS policy to relations with Zimbabwe. At the heart of the book lies the ruinous figure of Thabo Mbeki, whose over-reaching ambitions led to catastrophic failure on almost every front. But, as Johnson makes clear, Mbeki may have contributed more than anyone else to bringing South Africa close to "failed state" status, but he had plenty of help.

When Mel Binjari, a young Aboriginal girl, is awarded a scholarship to an elite private boarding school, she must leave her idyllic tropical island community behind. It is her destiny to become romantically entangled with Greg, son of local political boss, Doug Chalmers. As Mel struggles to adapt to the rigors of boarding school she teeters on the edge of expulsion. Meanwhile, following a hazy night with some mates at the pub with some mates, Greg becomes embroiled in the circumstances surrounding a fatal car accident. Like Romeo and Juliet, the two young lovers are doomed by events as the guilt they feel soon propels them past the point of no return. Will they resolve their issues and find happiness together, or will they become part of the "stolen generation" of Aborigines who succumb to the ways of the West? Grieve, Beloved Country is a compelling story of power, rebellion, shame and guilt that takes place in Aboriginal and rural Australia. Dr. John Carson is a former general practitioner who worked in remote clinics amongst the Aborigine. Now retired, the author grew up in Apartheid era South Africa before immigrating to Australia to protect his children from the propaganda of the racist regime that then ruled his country of birth. He is previously the author of two children's books. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/JohnCarson

A fascinating account of a remarkable life that took the author, through hard work and determination, from rural England to the highest ranks of the United Nations Dame Margaret Anstee was born in the 1920s to a poor family in rural Essex. With the support of her parents and through her own determination, she graduated from Cambridge with first class honours, and entered the Foreign Office where she worked with the spy Donald Maclean shortly before his defection with Guy Burgess. Her career here ended as was customary at the time, when she married a diplomat and was posted to Singapore. As the marriage began to fail Margaret accepted a job at the United Nations in order to earn her fare back to England. It was the start of a career that was to push the boundaries at every step. She became the first woman to be posted to her beloved South America, where she drove through the Andes in her VW Beetle, she headed up the first Government think tank during Harold Wilson’s Government and she was the first woman to break the glass ceiling at the United Nations. Dame Margaret Anstee served the United Nations for four decades, both at the New York Headquarters and in some of the poorest countries of the world attempting to help the victims of war, poverty and natural disasters. Throughout this time Dame Margaret has worked relentlessly to overcome the inequalities between the developed and developing world, a battle that she considers essential for the survival of both worlds. The first and only woman ever to reach this powerful position within the United Nations. Exciting, insightful and, on occasion humorous, travel writing as the author journeys through South America, Africa and the Far East. Charming account of village life and that of a young academic in Cambridge in the 1930s and 1940s. Gives an insight into the workings of the United Nations and the challenges faced both in conflict resolution and health and education programs. Features lively and amusing anecdotes with a cast of characters that includes many of the world’s leaders, from Che Guevara to Margaret Thatcher as well as special appearances by MI6 and the CIA, set against a global backdrop. Praise for Never Learn to Type: "Her achievements are truly inspirational." —The Rt Hon. Jack Straw MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs "The preamble of the UN Charter announces the commitment... to... reaffirm the faith in the fundamental dignity and worth of the human person.... No one has lived for these principles more selflessly or diligently than Margaret Anstee. Her life... is inspirational, and her story is highly recommended." —Jimmy Carter, Former President of the United States of America (awarded Nobel Peace Prize in 2002) "...a true pioneer of the international community... an account of a rich and fascinating life, as well as the kind of insight only the insider can provide into the nature of conflict, development and the work for peace." —Kofi A. Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations "...a remarkable and entertaining account of her adventures in many parts of the world." —Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Former Secretary-General of the United Nations "...she became, with all my support and pleasure, the first woman Under Secretary-General." —Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, Former Secretary-General of the United Nations "An extraordinary book about an extraordinary life.... A story written with wit, charm and affection.... Thank God she never learned to type but learned to think and care! —Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada, President of Bolivia "A truly absorbing account of achievement and adventure, by a remarkable woman... she engages and holds the reader's
