  First Drafts  South African History in the Making - Allister Sparks - Jonathan Ball - 2009 - Paperback as new. It was Philip Graham, legendary publisher of The Washington Post in the 1960s, who coined the epigram that the journalist's role is to write 'a first rough draft of history'. It is a concept that has long fascinated veteran journalist Allister Sparks, because it means that a collection of those rough drafts can present a different kind of history, a contemporaneous history. With the perfect vision of hindsight, historians can reconstruct events as they actually turned out. But the question is, what did it look like at the time, when the future was anything but obvious? No journalist has covered South Africa with the same insight and depth as Sparks. For many years his reporting and opinion pieces have been eagerly sort out by decision makers, analysts and the public at large. First drafts – a scintillating collection of Sparks' writing - takes the reader on a journey through the tumultuous years of the past decade. In his inimitable style, Sparks writes on subjects that cut across the landscape both local and international. He tackles the failed Mbeki presidency, tracking the never-ending Zimbabwe crisis and the HIV-Aids debacle. Sparks follows the extraordinary rise to power of President Jacob Zuma and a new political elite. He comments on the Arms Deal that won’t go away, the scourge of crime, the crisis in the judiciary, and a host of problems that bedevil South Africa. He also examines a number of foreign issues, particularly those that have a bearing on South Africa. He weighs in against the failure of US foreign policy during the Bush years; the fall from grace of Tony Blair in the UK; and the conflict in the Middle East.

Jonathan Black examines the end of the world and the coming of the Antichrist - or is he already here? How will he make himself known and what will become of the world when he does? - and the end of Time. Having studied theology and learnt from initiates of all the great secret societies of the world, Jonathan Black has learned that it is possible to reach an altered state of consciousness in which we can see things about the way the world works that hidden from our everyday commonsensical consciousness. This history shows that by using secret techniques, people such as Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton and George Washington have worked themselves into this altered state - and been able to access supernatural levels of intelligence. This book will leave you questioning every aspect of your life and spotting hidden messages in the very fabric of society and life itself. It will open your mind to a new way of living and leave you questioning everything you have been taught - and everything you've taught your children. Format:Paperback Pages:608

 Final Deadline - Rex Gibson - David Philip - 2007 - Paperback in nearly new cndition. For much of its 83-year history, the Rand Daily Mail was the most controversial newspaper in South Africa. Fearless and forthright, the newspaper dug where other publications did not, exposing stories – like the Information Scandal – that other newspapers were afraid to print. Under editors like Laurence Gandar, Raymond Louw and Allister Sparks, the Mail blazed a trail for independence and freedom of the press. Closed down by its proprietors in 1985, for reasons that are still controversial, the Rand Daily Mail's culture of professionalism and commitment influenced a generation of journalists. Final deadline is the story of the Rand Daily Mail, seen through the eyes of Rex Gibson, its last editor. Focusing on the difficult final years of the newspaper's history, the book is a tale of corporate manipulation, mismanagement and hypocrisy. In the end, a proud newspaper died and no-one, not least its owners, could quite say why.
