Personal Transformation

A remarkable and controversial book about the reality of modern Africa by distinguished American reporter, Blaine Harden. This remarkable book is the first to get behind the picture post-card presentation of modern Africa. harden reveals the true and often unsightly picture of this vast continent. The issues he addresses - the incompetent intervention of Western governments and the battle between the tribal way of life and modernity - are presented through lucid and gripping stories about individual people and incidents Harden has known. He himself was once thrown out of Kenya for the strength and accuracy of his reporting; this book will cause and equal stir in the debate about where Africa is going and what itis becoming.

Africa

"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."... "Someone must have told him about our back pay"' 
Piece of Cake follows the dramatic vapour trails of Hornet Squadron during the first year of World War Two from the Phoney War to the Battle of Britain and from the raw tomfoolery of young Pilot Officers to the misguided obstinacy of Fighter Command. At twenty thousand feet or on the ground, the men of Hornet squadron are quick-flying and quick-witted, always audacious and often less than scrupulous. Fanny Barton learns the hard way that promotion may be fast but leadership does not come so easily, that regret is a bygone word and that honour is a concept which you fight for but not with. He must kick his weary and bitter squadron into shape before they are all kicked from behind by Jerry whose destructive shadow is lengthening with increasing efficiency over the southern coastlines... Piece of cake. 
When it was first published, Piece of Cake gave rise to much acclaim and much criticism for its honest portrayal of life and action within the RAF World War Two. For those who do not wish to forget and for those who wish to learn, this is a fascinating, humorous and unsettling narrative by the author of Booker Prize shortlisted Goshawk Squadron and bestselling A Good Clean Fight.
