Review A Ascensão ao Poder de Cavaco Silva 1979-1985 / Edeline:A história da ascensão ao poder de Cavaco Silva, em termos da vida interna do PSD, não estava contada. Foi esse o desafio de Adelino Cunha, que refez o puzzle e revelou segredos. Para isso entrevistou dezenas de dirigentes do PSD. Os principais marcos da surpreendente chegada de Cavaco Silva a primeiro-ministro foram o seu desempenho como Ministro das Finanças do governo Sá Carneiro (1980) e a sua vitória contra João Salgueiro, no congresso do PSD da Figueira da Foz (1985). A reconstituição feita por Adelino Cunha, com testemunhos inéditos, oferece-nos uma imagem complementar, mas por vezes diferente, daquela que Cavaco transmitiu nas suas memórias. Suprime omissões. Relê situações mal explicadas. Revela estados de alma dos protagonistas. Este livro descreve, assim, a conquista do poder dentro de um partido político. Implica, por isso, falar de homens, das suas qualidades e defeitos, daquilo que disseram e que fizeram, dos segredos grandes ou pequenos que ciosamente guardaram.

In middle age she was stricken with a debilitating and excruciatingly painful disease. Through the years Andrea had explored philosophy, psychology and parapsychology, looking for answers.

Review A Life Looking Forward: Memoirs of an Independent Marxist / Zed Books:Samir Amin, one of the twentieth century's leading radical intellectuals, has lived his personal and political life at the intersection of various cultures and international progressive currents - from Egypt to France to West Africa, from communism to national-liberation socialism, Maoism and finally a mature anti-imperialism. His memoirs are not only a fascinating personal narrative but a penetrating historical-political analysis, as well as an introduction to his most important theoretical contributions. They offer a unique vantage point for observing the operations of global capitalism and the evolution, crises and potentialities of radical movements, especially in the third world. This book will be invaluable not only to readers interested in Amin's profoundly influential work or in the history of the global left but to anyone concerned with today's worldwide struggles against capitalist globalization.

Review Iran Awakening: From Prison to Peace Prize: One Woman's Struggle at the Crossroads of History / Vintage Canada:The moving, inspiring memoir of one of the great women of our times, Shirin Ebadi, winner of the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize and advocate for the oppressed, whose spirit has remained strong in the face of political persecution and despite the challenges she has faced raising a family while pursuing her work. Best known in this country as the lawyer working tirelessly on behalf of Canadian photojournalist, Zara Kazemi – raped, tortured and murdered in Iran – Dr. Ebadi offers us a vivid picture of the struggles of one woman against the system. The book movingly chronicles her childhood in a loving, untraditional family, her upbringing before the Revolution in 1979 that toppled the Shah, her marriage and her religious faith, as well as her life as a mother and lawyer battling an oppressive regime in the courts while bringing up her girls at home. Outspoken, controversial, Shirin Ebadi is one of the most fascinating women today. She rose quickly to become the first female judge in the country; but when the religious authorities declared women unfit to serve as judges she was demoted to clerk in the courtroom she had once presided over. She eventually fought her way back as a human rights lawyer, defending women and children in politically charged cases that most lawyers were afraid to represent. She has been arrested and been the target of assassination, but through it all has spoken out with quiet bravery on behalf of the victims of injustice and discrimination and become a powerful voice for change, almost universally embraced as a hero. Her memoir is a gripping story – a must-read for anyone interested in Zara Kazemi’s case, in the life of a remarkable woman, or in understanding the political and religious upheaval in our world.
