With a new introduction by Wallace Shawn, a classic work of war reportage that describes, with unblinking vision, the systematic leveling of a Vietnamese village by American troops.In January 1967, as President Lyndon Johnson sent more forces to the war in Vietnam, the US military began what was to be the largest ground operation of the entire conflict. Not far from Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, and close to the Cambodian border was an area known as the Iron Triangle, long under Viet Cong control. Operation Cedar Falls set out to eliminate that guerrilla threat by sealing off the region, emptying its villages, and leveling the surrounding jungle. The local population would be transferred to model "New Life Villages" under US surveillance.The village of Ben Suc was the Americans'' first target, and Jonathan Schell, a reporter at the start of his career, accompanied them there. He witnessed the destruction of the village; the frantic efforts of young soldiers to figure out who was or wasn''t a foe; the destruction of people''s homes and possessions; and the chaotic transfer of women, children, old men, and livestock to a refugee camp where no preparations had been made for their arrival.

On 30 November 1939 Stalins Red Army attacked Finland, expecting to crush the outnumbered, ill-equipped Finnish forces in a matter of days. But, in one of the most astonishing upsets in modern military history, the Finnish defenders broke the Red Armys advance, inflicting devastating casualties and destroying some of the divisions that had been thrown against them. Eventually, in March 1940, the overhauled Red Army prevailed through the deployment of massive force. The Finns were compelled to cede territory and cities to their overbearing neighbour, but the moral victory was theirs. The courage and skill their army displayed in the face of the Soviet onslaught and the chaotic and reckless performance of their opponents - had an important influence on the massive struggle that was about to break out between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. For this highly illustrated and original portrayal of this famously unequal struggle, Bair Irincheev has brought together a compelling selection of eyewitness accounts, war diaries, battle reports, and other records from the Finnish and Russian archives to reconstruct the frontline fighting, and he analyses the reasons for the Red Armys poor performance.

"The White Peacock" is a novel by D. H. Lawrence published in 1911. The story revolves around the relationship between two young people, George and Lettie, who fall in love in the English countryside. George is the nephew of a wealthy landowner, and Lettie is the daughter of a poor farmer. The novel explores themes of love, class, and the struggle for self-expression. The plot is centered around the courtship of George and Lettie, who come from vastly different backgrounds. George struggles with his privileged upbringing and a desire to break free from his family's expectations, while Lettie is confined by her poverty and the limited opportunities available to her. As their relationship progresses, they face challenges and obstacles that threaten to tear them apart. The novel is also notable for its vivid descriptions of the natural world, particularly the lush English countryside. Lawrence's prose captures the beauty and complexity of the landscape, and his characters are deeply connected to the natural world around them. In the end, the novel is a poignant exploration of the complexities of human relationships, the struggle for self-discovery and the consequences of social and economic divisions.

POETRY BOOK SOCIETY RECOMMENDATIONA piercing debut about how we are made, how we get lost and how we find new selves.Framed by the story of escape from a toxic marriage, Chaotic Good focuses on the incremental ways in which power accumulates, shifts and is relinquished within both home and community. Incisive, rigorous and artful, Isabelle Baafi reminds us of the importance of self-determination, and how, when we feel most eroded, we might discover what we need deep within ourselves: ‘This time and every time, I was the code I needed to find my way back.’‘With sure formal dexterity and an exciting precision of lyrical imagining, Baafi explores the complicated pathways of suspicion and uncertainty, and – most vitally – the simultaneous possibilities of threat and beauty, mistrust and hope, darkness and joy.
