The Shadow World
A gripping and urgent investigation into the secretive world of the global arms trade - from a former member of the African National Congress Revealing the corruption and the cover-ups at the heart of ex-President Jacob Zuma's South Africa Andrew Feinstein delves behind BAE's controversial transactions in South Africa, Tanzania and eastern Europe and the revolving-door relationships that characterise the US Congressional-Military-Industrial Complex. The Shadow World exposes both the formal government-backed trade in arms as well as the illicit deals and lays bare the shocking links between the two. 'Essential reading for anyone who cares about justice, transparency and accountability in both the public and private spheres, and for anyone who believes that it is more important to invest in saving lives than in the machinery of death' Archbishop Desmond Tutu 'Andrew Feinstein has written an authoritative guide to the business of war. Chilling, heartbreaking and enraging' Arundhati Roy 'The nobility and justice of Feinstein's sentiments are indisputable. The arms trade is a loathsome commerce conducted by people who wear suits and occupy big boardroom tables, but should have trouble sleeping at night' Max Hastings, Sunday Times 'Remarkable and courageous . . . The Shadow World is a heroic book by an author who, in writing it, has put himself in the firing line' Iain Macwhirter 'Feinstein's book is a singularly powerful study, and deserves to be read by anyone who wants to see light shining on such a shadowy world' Independent

In "The Shadow World," Hamlin Garland employs a poignant realism that reveals the intricate tapestry of human emotions and relationships. Set against the backdrop of the American Midwest, this novel explores the internal struggles and societal pressures faced by its characters, delving into themes of isolation and the pursuit of authenticity. Garland's literary style is characterized by rich, vivid descriptions and a deep psychological insight that evoke a sense of both longing and despair, reflective of the broader literary movement of the late 19th century where naturalism flourished as writers sought to depict the complexities of everyday life with stark honesty. Hamlin Garland, a prominent figure in the turn-of-the-century literary scene, garnered inspiration from his own experiences growing up on a farm in Wisconsin and from witnessing the harsh realities of rural life. His commitment to portraying the struggles of the American farmer and the discrepancies between idealism and reality deeply influence this narrative, positioning Garland as a voice of empathy and social commentary. His own battles with identity and societal expectation inform the emotional depth of the characters, as they navigate their shadowy existences. For readers seeking a profound exploration of the human condition, "The Shadow World" serves as an essential reflection on the intersection of personal turmoil and societal constraints. Garland'Äôs evocative prose invites contemplation and empathy, making it a compelling choice for anyone interested in the intricacies of life during a transformative era in American literature.
