Kwai back war

  WAR EFFORT 1942-44 REDUCED SIZE 1 1/2d MH BLOCK OF 4 WITH VARIETY MISSING BACK GROUND ON SLEEVE.

In 1987, Paul Morris went to Angola as a reluctant conscript soldier, where he experienced the fear and filth of war. Twenty-five years later, in 2012, Paul returned to Angola, and embarked on a 1500-kilometre cycle trip, solo and unsupported, across the country. His purpose was to see Angola in peacetime, to replace the war map in his mind with a more contemporary peace map, to exorcise the ghosts of war once and for all. Shifting skilfully between present and past, Back to Angola chronicles Pauls epic journey, from Cuito Cuanavale to the remnants of his units base in northern Namibia, and vividly recreates his experiences as a young soldier caught up in a war in a foreign land.  Along the way, the book provides thought-provoking reflections on childhood, masculinity, violence, trauma and friendship. Back to Angola is an honest, intelligent and deeply moving account of war and its effects on an individual mind, a generation of people, and the psyche and landscape of a country.

Cover has some wear to edges. Light scratching and a few crease marks on back cover. Binding: Softcover Pages: 291 Dimensions: 23.5 x 15.5 x 2.2 cm +++ by Mike Marqusee +++ Combining personal reflection and social observation, War Minus the Shooting paints a complex portrait of a sub-continent in ferment, set against the backdrop of the Cricket World Cup, the most extravagant and controversial event in the long history of the game. Chronicling the sometimes farcical, sometimes tragic ups and downs of the cup, Mike Marqusee delves into the dilemmas that dog modern cricket - ball-tampering, biased umpires, media moguls and sponsors, race and national identity, gambling syndicates, and much more.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers.
