Brothers to Us: The Story of a Remarkable Family’s Fight Against Apartheid
0$5.99Incredibly fascinating look at one family’s anti-apartheid activism in South Africa – and hitting home the point that there were few Whites in South Africa who were vocally anti-apartheid during that period (generalising here but….) The Watson brother’s politics and beliefs were rare amongst other White South Africans, which in itself is a terrifying thought.

Evil Angels: The disappearance of Azaria Chamberlain
0$4.99The most important book ever written regarding our most shameful and public miscarriage of justice.
The mysterious death of nine-week-old Azaria Chamberlain near Ayers Rock in 1980 sparked the most widespread controversy ever known in Australia – and one that endures to this very day. While Azaria’s mother, Lindy, claimed a dingo had taken her baby, she was widely disbelieved. An ever news-hungry media had a field day, disseminating rumours and stirring up suspicion against a woman whose demeanour in the face of tragedy they simply could not understand.
Lindy was found guilty and jailed for life, while her husband was found to be an accessory. Two appeals were lost, but by 1986 the build-up of scientific evidence corroborating the Chamberlains’ story became so overwhelming that the Northern Territory authorities released Lindy rather than re-open the inquiry. A year later a Royal Commission granted her a pardon and in 1992 she and Michael Chamberlain received over $1 million compensation.
Evil Angels is the gripping account of the Chamberlains’ trial and its aftermath, events that shook Australia’s faith in its justice system and its media, and revealed a savage new dimension to the lucky country. Author John Bryson’s multi award-winning book is a compelling narrative of events and issues which are still with us today.

In the Name of Honour
0$5.99In June 2002, Mukhtar Mai, a Pakistani woman from the impoverished village of Meerwala, was gang-raped by a local clan known as the Mastoi — punishment for indiscretions allegedly committed by the woman’s brother. While certainly not the first account of a female body being negotiated for honor in a family, this time the survivor had bravely chosen to fight back. In doing so, Mai single-handedly changed the feminist movement in Pakistan, one of the world’s most adverse climates for women. By July 2002, the Pakistani government awarded her the equivalent of 8,500 U.S. dollars in compensation money and sentenced her attackers to death — and Mukhtar Mai went on to open a school for girls so that future generations would not suffer, as she had, from illiteracy.
In this rousing account, Mai describes her experience and how she has since become an agent for change and a beacon of hope for oppressed women around the world. Timely and topical, “In the Name of Honor” is the remarkable and inspirational memoir of a woman who fought and triumphed against exceptional odds.
