Story22
Jan Smuts: Unafraid of Greatness is a re-examination of the life and thoughts of Jan Smuts. It is intended to remind a contemporary listenership of the remarkable achievements of this impressive soldier-statesman. The author, a former editor of The Star, argues that Smut's role in the creation of modern South Africa should never be forgotten, not least because of his lifetime of devoted service to this country. The book draws a parallel between Smuts and President Thabo Mbeki, both architects of a new South Africa, much lionised abroad yet often distrusted at home.

Una biografía imprescindible para acercar al lector del siglo XXI una de las figuras centrales de la historia española. Nadie ha condicionado tanto la historia contemporánea de España como Francisco Franco Bahamonde (1892-1975). Sin embargo y a pesar de su omnipresencia –de las monedas a las aulas, del NODO al debate público—, el dictador sigue siendo un desconocido, oculto tras una maraña de apriorismos y de tópicos, de maniqueísmos y de mentiras.

Pocos como Julio Scherer Ibarra han conocido de manera tan profunda al verdadero Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Durante más de tres décadas, acompañó de cerca sus aspiraciones de transformar la política y la vida pública en México. De ese modo, atestiguó en primera fila su faceta personal y familiar, así como el andamiaje político, institucional y personal que forjó su trayectoria hasta llevarlo, en su tercer intento, a la presidencia del país. A través de una conversación íntima y reflexiva con el periodista Jorge Fernández Menéndez, se registra la historia de ese vínculo moldeado en la lucha.

For millions of people, both in Britain and across the world, Elizabeth II is the embodiment of monarchy. Her long life spans nearly a century of national and global history, from a time before the Great Depression to the era of COVID-19. Her reign embraces all but seven years of Britain's postwar history; she has been served by 15 UK prime ministers from Churchill to Johnson, and witnessed the administrations of 13 US presidents from Truman to Trump. The vast majority of Britons cannot remember a world without Elizabeth II as head of state and the Commonwealth.
