Five book covers for titles on the Russian war in Ukraine showing Putin, Zelensky, and soldiers amongst them.
The war Trump boasted he would ‘end within one day’ enters its fourth anniversary this week. Sadly, as Russian missiles pound Ukraine & Putin continues the nuclear sabre-rattling, a workable peace is not in clear sight. Here’s a reading list of books to provide some context:

New article out from SA Historical Conference panel re-evaluating global anti-apartheid activism. I examine how MPLA in power in #Angola used its alignment against apartheid in order to conflate all its critics as imperialist & to silence internal debates re race. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
E mesmo assim o encantador de burros vai espernear e fazer birra que a derrota foi injusta.
O derrotado da noite é Montenegro. E a sua neutralidade, na segunda volta, entrega a Ventura da liderança da direita, em vez de o acantonar no espaço antidemocrático. É uma escolha de consequências estruturais, recolocando o PSD e acelerando a reconfiguração da direita.
Que realidade paralela é esta em que eu concordo com a Le Pen?
