Kasrils Ronnie Kasrils’s insights into Jacob Zuma in A Simple Man, both shocking and revelatory, are vividly illuminated through this story, from their shared history in the underground to Kasrils’s time as minister of intelligence and his views on South Africa now. Our understanding of Zuma the struggle hero, now perceived as having sold his soul to the devil, becomes clearer through this narrative. This fast-paced, thriller-style memoir outlines the tumultuous years that saw Mbeki’s overthrow and replacement by Zuma, Nkandlagate, the growing militarisation of the police and the Marikana Massacre, the outrageous appointment of flunkies to high office, the ‘state capture’ report and his relationship with the Guptas. We relive the Schabir Shaik corruption trial, Kasrils’s relationship with Fezeka Kuzwayo (), Zuma’s rape trial accuser, the email and spy tapes saga, conspiracy and betrayal. While Kasrils explains the enigmatic contradictions of Jacob Zuma, he also explains that corruption and the abuse of power does not begin with Zuma. His story points to the compromised negotiations of the 1990s, which he refers to as a ‘Faustian Pact’. This is a story told from the inside, and after reading it, you will understand not only the many machinations of power, but also how one man’s struggle for the truth can have such an impact on the political outcomes of the nation. 280 p., SC, R 260 Sovereign—The Life and Reign of Emperor Nicholas II Volume 1—4 What is there new to say about the life and reign of Russia's last emperor and tsar, that has not already been said? Quite a lot, actually. Emperor Nicholas II is one of the most documented monarchs in history, yet he also remains one of the most maligned and misunderstood. Since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, a vast amount of new material has been made avail- able to historians. Over the last two decades, Russian scholars have delved into new documents, letters, diaries of the na- tions archives which reveal a very different assessment of the life and reign of Nicholas II. Sovereign is a new periodical dedi- cated to the life and reign of Russia's last emperor. This unique bi-annual publication will challenge the popular-held negative image of Nicholas II through the publication of new articles by Western experts, and first-English translations of works by Russian experts based on new research in Russian archives and other previously untapped sources. , about 140 pages per issue, many black & white photos, SC, A 4 size, R 490 each

Erfundene Wahrheit Rosemary Righter Wer die Macht hat, der verfügt auch über Informationen.Die geteilte Macht in der Demokratie teilt sich die Informationen mit einer freien unabhängigen Presse. Totalitäre Staaten pflegen Informationen als ihr ausschließliches Eigentum zu betrachten, die Weitergabe an eine abhängige Presse ist ein wichtiges Mittel der Politik nach innen und nach außen. Ein eigenes und oft recht eigenwilliges Verhältnis zur Presse und deren Umgang mit Informationen, hat sich in der Dritten Welt herausgebildet. Während die Rundfunkmedien in diesen Ländern überall unter Regierungskontrolle stehen, führt die Presse ein mehr oder weniger selbständiges, wenn auch oft kümmerliches Dasein. Nur zu leicht wird hier die Freiheit zum Preis der Unabhänigkeit, der Fortschritt erfordert die Opferung der Individualität, die Wahrheit erscheint unverantwortlich, und die Verantwortung erfordert die Umgehung oder Unterdrückung der Wahrheit.....Kritisiert wird vor allem das westliche Monopol auf das Weltinformationsnetz. Die internationale Verständigung und eine neue Weltordnung nach dem Verständnis der Länder der Dritten Welt erfordern eine Brechung dieses Monopols....
