Africa: War and Conflict in the Twent...
This book examines the causes, course and consequences of warfare in twentieth century Africa, a period which spanned colonial rebellions, both World Wars, and the decolonization process. Timothy Stapleton contextualizes the essential debates and controversies surrounding African conflict in the twentieth century while providing insightful introductions to such conflicts as:
African rebellions against colonial regimes in the early twentieth century, including the rebellion and infamous genocide of the Herero and Nama people in present-day Namibia;
The African fronts of World War I and World War II, and the involvement of colonized African peoples in these global conflicts;
Conflict surrounding the widespread decolonization of Africa in the 1950s and 1960s;
Rebellion and civil war in Africa during the Cold War, when American and Soviet elements often intervened in efforts to turn African battlegrounds into Cold War proxy conflicts;
The Second Congo Civil War, which is arguably the bloodiest conflict in any region since World War II;
Supported by a glossary, a who’s who of key figures, a timeline of major events, a rich bibliography, and a set of documents which highlight the themes of the book, Africa: War and Conflict in the Twentieth Century is the best available resource for students and scholars seeking an introduction to violent conflict in recent African history.

About the Book*
After the horrors of the 1945 war, the housekeeper of a middle-income British family ventured to an international trade fair, eager to modernize their kitchen. The shiny new utensils arrived with fanfare, causing the old, battle-worn ones to grumble with jealousy.
The kitchen quickly turned into a lively battleground. The pots and pans, seasoned from years of service, argued their irreplaceability, while the sleek new utensils boasted efficiency and style. Even the spatulas tried to mediate, flapping uselessly.
Thomas, the housekeeper, caught in this utensil uprising, hadn’t slept well since their arrival. His dreams, filled with animated kitchenware, left him questioning his sanity. "Did that really happen?" he'd wonder while doing chores.
Meanwhile, at the Babatundes, the kitchen became a scene of daily drama. The spatulas sang, the knives debated, and the pots banged in protest. Tensions raged but always found a way to ease, with everyone vying for relevance.
Despite the chaos, Thomas couldn't help but chuckle. The old and new, battered and shiny, all had their place. Maybe the kitchen was big enough for all of them. With a smile, he returned to his chores, grateful for the lively, albeit noisy, new dynamic.

STATELESS HOPE: Stories from the Marg...
Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow
Few figures in American history have been more hotly debated or more grossly misunderstood than Alexander Hamilton. Chernow’s biography gives Hamilton his due and sets the record straight, deftly illustrating that the political and economic greatness of today’s America is the result of Hamilton’s countless sacrifices to champion ideas that were often wildly disputed during his time. “To repudiate his legacy,” Chernow writes, “is, in many ways, to repudiate the modern world.” Chernow here recounts Hamilton’s turbulent life: an illegitimate, largely self-taught orphan from the Caribbean, he came out of nowhere to take America by storm, rising to become George Washington’s aide-de-camp in the Continental Army, coauthoring The Federalist Papers, founding the Bank of New York, leading the Federalist Party, and becoming the first Treasury Secretary of the United States. Historians have long told the story of America’s birth as the triumph of Jefferson’s democratic ideals over the aristocratic intentions of Hamilton. Chernow presents an entirely different man, whose legendary ambitions were motivated not merely by self-interest but by passionate patriotism and a stubborn will to build the foundations of American prosperity and power. His is a Hamilton far more human than we’ve encountered before—from his shame about his birth to his fiery aspirations, from his intimate relationships with childhood friends to his titanic feuds with Jefferson, Madison, Adams, Monroe, and Burr, and from his highly public affair with Maria Reynolds to his loving marriage to his loyal wife Eliza. And never before has there been a more vivid account of Hamilton’s famous and mysterious death in a duel with Aaron Burr in July of 1804.
Lamu: A Brief History by Roland Minor
This book gives an insightful look at the early history of the island of Lamu on the Kenya coast, as well as the surrounding area. Arab and Indian sailors dominated the maritime trade of the western Indian Ocean from earliest times. Greek sailors operating out of Egyptian ports joined them and it was from them that the first written records of the East African coast are derived. Lamu, with its fine natural harbour and abundant supplies of fresh water, likely played a major part in this maritime trade.
By the 14th century the renowned Moroccan traveller, ibn Battúta, reported that the whole East African coast had been Islamicized. Then came the Portuguese in the last years of the 15th century. With their faster ships and gunnery they dominated the existing trade resulting in a catastrophic collapse of local economies. In the mid-17th century the ruler of Mombasa appealed to the Sultan of Oman for aid in driving off the Portuguese. This heralded Omani interest in East Africa and the founding of the Sultanate of Zanzibar. The British took an interest in the coast in their attempts to stop the slave trade. Eventually, under pressure from the British, the Sultan of Zanzibar ceded the administration of the coastal strip to the British, leading in due course to the establishment of Kenya Colony. Lamu played a key role in the evolving history of the Kenya coast.
