In the eternal war between witches, a series of inexplicable events land him into something larger than life. Many secrets will emerge as Blahz chooses his side in the war. He has to find out who is pulling the strings. And most importantly, to realize his own origin, he has to trust the biggest liar around, and avenge for the first and the wickedest witch the world had ever seen. The journey to his destiny shockingly reveals much that has long remained hidden. Is there a need for him to take sides in the war............? Welcome to the Chronicles of Blahz (Spells of Witches) With a rich plot spanning from medieval times to the present, 'Chronicles of Blahz (Spell of witches)' will not only make you aware of the epic story, but it takes you on a journey full of adventure, sorcery, betrayal, loyalty, friendship, perseverance, giants, and other mystical creatures where you feel you are actually living the life of a boy born with abilities - certain damned abilities. Blahz, who is born to parents with far different backgrounds begins to feel the brunt of his existence from an early age and is continuously challenged by obstacles throughout his life so far. His past and apparently suspicious origin haunts him until a series of loss and pain transforms the mere boy into something the world has never witnessed. Does he become a savior or a monster to live forever among us? Be it whatever, the adventurous path ahead presents friends and foes alike for him. Some are there to bid farewell, and some who might never ever leave. However, being content with a handful of peculiar people around him, Blahz tries his best to overcome every obstacle in his way. The malevolence of his magical foes dating far back to his own ancestry spares no effort in making his life miserable in every possible way. Or is it all but a trap? A trap set to direct Blahz into acquiring something from the other worlds - something only the wickedest of witches could ever acquire. On the other hand it could be a trap set by the first and the most powerful witch to gather her enemies only to avenge for something they have done to her a very long time ago. Caught in the middle of the war between the witches is Blahz who not only has to survive, but also do justice to his own blood as well. Will he be able to? While he blames himself and his damned abilities for the loss and pain in his life so far, a series of unfolding events both good and bad pave way for him to discover his shocking origin - an origin he only partly suspected being linked to. Above all, despite losing so much, and with little desire to live on, he has no choice but to live for others. The turn comes to light when something along his journey makes him immortal. Is it just fate stretching his despair for eternity? With so much pain and loss, will he be able to carry on safeguarding others from those closely related to him, and if so, for how long? Failing to save the people important in his own life, he is prepared to do anything to get whatever that is waiting for him. However, to discover and get to the pinnacle of his existence, he has to continue trusting the biggest lair - a man he calls friend but this friend has long ago already bargained with the devil himself. If that is not all, Blahz has to avenge for the first and the wickedest witch the world has ever seen. Will he be able to do it all? Buy now to discover it all!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “gripping” story of the Angolan Civil War and how it evolved into a Cold War struggle between superpowers (New York Journal of Books). Lasting over a quarter of a century, from 1975 to 2002, the Angolan Civil War began as a power struggle between two former liberation movements, the MPLA and UNITA—but became a Cold War struggle with involvement from the Soviet Union, Cuba, South Africa, and the United States. This book examines the height of the Cuban-South African fighting in Angola in 1987–88, when three thousand South African soldiers and about eight thousand UNITA guerrilla fighters fought in alliance against the Cubans and the armed forces of the Marxist MPLA government, a force of over fifty thousand men. Fred Bridgland pieced together the course of the war, fought in one of the world’s most remote and wild terrains, by interviewing the South Africans who fought it, and many of their stories are woven into the narrative. This classic account of a Cold War struggle and its momentous consequences for the participants and the continent now includes a new preface and epilogue. “Highlights just how much political and social considerations dictate the outcome of war . . . A highly detailed work of military history, The War for Africa can tell us a lot about the nature of counter-insurgency warfare and how small states can become contested battlegrounds between superpowers.” —New York Journal of Books
Download or read book The Cuban Intervention in Angola 1965 1991 written by Edward George and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-11-23 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new examination of why Cuba, a Caribbean country, sent half a million of its citizens to fight in Angola in Africa, and how a short-term intervention escalated into a lengthy war of intervention. It clearly details how in January 1965 Cuba formed an alliance with the Angolan MPLA which evolved into the flagship of its global 'internationalist' mission, spawning the military intervention of November 1975 culminating in Cuba's spurious 'victory' at Cuito Cuanavale and Cuba's fifteen-year occupation of Angola. Drawing on interviews with leading protagonists, first-hand accounts and archive material from Cuba, Angola and South Africa, this new book dispels the myths of the Cuban intervention, revealing that Havana's decision to intervene was not so much an heroic gesture of solidarity, but rather a last-ditch gamble to avert disaster. By examining Cuba's role in the Angolan War in a global context, this book demonstrates how the interaction between the many players in Angola shaped and affected Cuba's intervention as it headed towards its controversial conclusion.

Download or read book African Nemesis written by Paul L. Moorcraft and published by Brassey's. This book was released on 1990 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Nemesis is the first book to provide a detailed analysis of all the wars in southern Africa since 1945 - the conflicts against colonialism and the battles waged by the frontline states against apartheid as well as the civil war inside South Africa. This provides the backcloth to a controversial study of South Africa in the 1980s. Paul Moorcraft spent more than a decade investigating the turmoil in the region as a journalist, university teacher, author and documentary film-maker. The result is a comprehensive and authoritative account of military power in the region that also discusses political, economic, social and psychological issues where they are directly relevant to the military conflicts. Then the book takes a dangerous leap into the future by describing likely scenarios until the year 2010. Moorcraft outlines a series of both optimistic and chilling options for the future.

Download or read book Apartheid s Last Stand written by C. Alden and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1996-02-28 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apartheid's Last Stand is an original study which sets out to demonstrate how and why the apartheid state was neither able to maintain white dominance of the political system nor capable of reforming itself. The book's central argument is that the South African government consciously developed and introduced a programme of limited reforms in accordance with the guiding principles of counter-revolutionary strategy and the so-called 'liberal' vision of apartheid. Rejected by the majority of South Africans, President P.W. Botha nonetheless doggedly pursued state-managed reform through the imposition of stringent security measures to combat dissent at home and isolation abroad. The ensuing stalemate between South African government and the forces of revolution was only overcome with the ousting of military influence in South Africa and the ending of the Cold War. These circumstances laid the foundation for the reconciliation between Nelson Mandela and F.W. de Klerk, giving birth to a new democratic South Africa.
