This book caught my eye one afternoon while I was ’shopping’ with Jackie. CNA is always a great stop for us men, especially when compared with Foschini, Truworths, YDE, etc. An Unpopular War was sitting at number 6 in the top 10. I’ve read 2 books on the Border War and find it very interesting - like the cover says - it was a war that was swept under the carpet, most young South Africans don’t even know it happened. Yet in the 70’s and 80’s it was a reality which you faced as you finished school.

 

The Google Story

Jackie bought me The Google Story for my birthday in August and I finally got round to finishing it this holiday. I think it’s an excellent book. It shows both sides of Google and just how successful they really are.
