Book Description
The xenophobic attacks that started in Alexandra, Johannesburg in May 2008 before quickly spreading around the country caused an outcry across the world and raised many fundamental questions: Of what profound social malaise is xenophobia – and the violence that it inspires – a symptom? Have our economic and political choices created new forms of exclusion that fuel anger and distrust? What consequences does the emergence of xenophobia hold for the idea of an equal, non-racial society as symbolised by a democratic South Africa? On 28 May 2008 the Faculty of Humanities in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg convened an urgent colloquium that focused on searching for short and long-term solutions. Nearly twenty individuals – mostly Wits academics from a variety of disciplines, but also two student leaders, a journalist and a bishop – addressed the unfolding violence in ways that were conversant with the moment, yet rooted in scholarship and ongoing research. Go Home or Die Here emanates directly from the colloquium. It hopes to make sense of the nuances and trajectories of building a democratic society out of a deeply divided and conflictual past, in the conditions of global recession, heightening inequalities and future uncertainty. The authors hoped to pose questions that would lead both to research and to more informed, reflective forms of public action. With extensive photographs by award-winning photographer Alon Skuy, who covered the violence for The Times newspaper, the volume is passionate and engaged, and aims to stimulate reflection, debate and activism among concerned members of a broad public.

Book Description
A telling story that recounts a mother fighting for her life, while her daughter supports her journey of denial to acceptance of having to let go. The author recounts her mother’s undying love for her first husband Lieth, who was killed 50 years prior in WWII. In the final year, Leith returned from the other side to take her home. Recording her incredible mother’s near death experience, the author describes what to expect on the other side; we are never alone, we are surrounded and guided by beings of light, and our loved ones who have already passed over are waiting there for us. “This is a wonderful, wonderful book. It really opened my heart to my own grieving process and I could not put it down.” —Karin Jefferies, R.N “I could not put this book down from the first page. It opened my eyes to so much more than this physical world we live in.” —Hannah Louise, London, UK “Riveting! I couldn’t put this book down. The story reveals that the cycle of life and death is beyond amazing!” —Merle Hetherington, R.N.

Book Description
In this redemption tale, an unlikely friendship offers a glimpse into the resilience of the human spirit. During the Battle of the Bulge in the frozen winter of 1944, Henry Gerald Briggs, a deserting American soldier, stumbles across the German soldier, Dieter Von Strauss, in an abandoned barn near the Ardennes Woods after fleeing their respective sides. Their learned hostility thaws into an unlikely friendship as these men try not only to escape capture and the war, but to survive the fiercest winter Belgium had seen in years. Once inside the barbed wired fences of Buchenwald, Henry obtains a piece of paper containing information that could bring an end to the war in Europe. But in order to get it to his men, he’ll have to escape the oppressive labour camp and face an army that would have him killed for desertion. Will he put the fate of the war before his own survival? Will a final act of redemption redeem an act of treason? In this grim but hopeful fiction, We Will Not Die Here reads like the memoir of Henry Gerald Briggs, a replacement assigned to Easy Company, one of the most revered companies of the Second World War. This gripping tale follows Henry and Dieter, from the snow-laden trees of the Ardennes to the soul-crushing conditions of one of Germany’s most infamous labour camps, Buchenwald. This is a story of cowardice and bravery, of friendship and cruelty, and—ultimately—of the human spirit’s will to survive.

Book Description
Dan and Marion Cooper arrive in an Asian tropical paradise to find themselves victims of a series of powerful earthquakes and the outset of war between the northern and southern halves of the country. After the Coopers and a young mixed couple are rescued by the sexy and mysterious “Lana,” she disappears along with Dan and young surfer Lucas. Marion and Lucas’s African American wife, Alanda, are forced to return to the States, alone, filled with questions. When a young Army sergeant shows up with tales of Aliens in UFOs causing the quakes, Marion turns away despite being relentlessly questioned and followed by the FBI. Alanda, on the other hand, becomes a believer—whether it’s true or not. But what happened to her new husband and to Dan Cooper? And what is Dan Cooper’s dark secret? Will anyone survive these ultimate tests? If the war goes on long enough, no one is likely to make it out alive.
The Last Tour tests belief systems—in relationships, government, and the unknown. Are alien beings helping one corrupt regime overpower another? Are UFOs real? If no one is right, is anyone wrong? Can love survive separation? These are questions Marion Cooper never thought she’d face in her lifetime. Now, everything bad is real, and everything real is bad.
Or is it? Only one thing is certain: Neither Dan nor Marion Cooper will ever do another tour like this one. Those hopes died the day he disappeared into the jungles of Phnongtuk.
