Review At Thy Call We Did Not Falter / Struik Publishers:At Thy Call We Did Not Falter is a gripping frontline account of the Angolan war, as seen through the eyes of a 19-year-old conscript soldier. It tells the story of so many young white South Africans who, like him, were sent into battle against overwhelming forces straight after finishing school. Clive Holt was at the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale, where the South African Defence Force supported the rebel movement Unita after a massive build-up of Cuban and Angolan troops. It was the bloodiest and most significant battle fought by South African troops since World War II. With diary extracts, previously unpublished photographs and a riveting narrative, this book transports the reader into the firing line and the dark realms of war. At Thy Call We Did Not Falter is a classic account of war, as well as a window into the world of post-traumatic stress disorder. It is a chilling account of how a government took schoolboys and turned them into killing machines. The timing of the book is extraordinarily fortunate, coming just as interest in Cuito Cuanavale is being revived, with moves afoot to arrange battlefield tours, and debates raging anew in military and veteran circles about who the victors and vanquished were.

Review The Indomitable Miss Pink: A Life in Anthropology / New South Wales University Press:Olive Pink (1884-1975) was an unconventional anthropologist, an advocate of Aboriginal rights and an early proponent of the cultivation of Australian indigenous plants. - Born in Hobart, she moved to Sydney in 1914 and travelled extensively in central Australia, lived in remote areas with the Arrernte and Warlpiri people, and caused controversy within the anthropological profession. - Olive Pink's political activism brought her into conflict with missionaries, pastoralists and her anthropological colleagues, while her sustained letter-writing campaigns made her the scourge of the public servants and administrators responsible for the well-being of Aboriginal people. - A willowy woman always dressed in Edwardian white, she lived alone after the death of her mother, choosing an independent life rather than marriage. - Her critical political opinions and forthright tongue could never sit easily within the restrictive requirements of marriage. - Those opinions and her resolute and rigid moral beliefs meant that some of her most respected and liked colleagues and friends failed to meet her standards. - But she made and kept many friends, her laughter and humour seeing her through the later years of penury and hardship in Alice Springs. - "She still haunts Alice Springs," writes the author, "an observant, elusive, ghostly presence. " - Drawing on hundreds of letters and thousands of pages of diaries and notes, Dr Marcus tests the legends and the contemporary assessments of "Miss Pink" against a range of sources and informants. - She traces Olive Pink's life and untangles how she is remembered and mythologised by Australia's Aboriginal and white communities.

Review Survival! A Purple Heart Tuskegee Airman / Rutledge Books:It was an unprecedented opportunity: The United States Air Force announced a training course for Negro airmen to be conducted at Alabama's Tuskegee Institute. John Steward Sloan, Sr. , a Kentucky postal worker who dreamed of being a pilot, eagerly submitted his application and was accepted into the program. Thus began a life-changing odyssey for a young man determined to serve his country, prove his mettle and see the world. For John, his education began as he took his first journey into America's Deep South to endure the rigorous and demanding training on the Tuskegee campus. After completing the course with distinction, he was ready to join the U. S. forces in World War II's European theatre. Survival of a Tuskegee Airman is the riveting first-person account of his experiences as a decorated airman. He describes each mission with a vivid immediacy that recreates a palpable sense of danger and the adrenaline rush of nerves kicking in under pressure. [+]When his aircraft was shot down, he found himself the only Black man in a large military field hospital, which proved to be a different kind of lesson in survival. This is an unflinching, compelling account of a little-known chapter in the chronicles of World War II and African-American history. Survival of a Tuskegee Airman reminds us of all the courageous men who fought for a nation that did not treat them all equally.
