Captivating Throne of Passion – Juana La Loca
Juana’s courage, strength, and passion amazed me as The Last Queen came of age so vividly under C.W. Gortner’s admirable pen. This historical novel is fraught with crushing battles of power and chilling intrigue throughout the courts of her parents, Isabel of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon, and of her husband, Philip of Flanders, as the Infanta of Spain attempts to take her rightful place on the thrown she inherited from her mother. My soul was struck as I witnessed, through Gortner’s well paced story, the agony Juana endured as her faithless husband raped her night after night, as she was forced to leave her first born behind in Flanders and another child taken from her breast by her father to raise as his own, and as she ultimately succumbed to the captivity that often befell women of royalty in those times.

Book Review – “Imperium” by Ryszard Kapuscinski
Recommended by a friend in my graduate program in Portland, Ryszard Kapuscinski’s Imperium stands apart as an amazing piece of journalistic history of the former Soviet Union. For those interested in the realities of the different republics of the Soviet Union from the late 1930s to the early 1990s, this is one of the best books I have had the pleasure of reading.

Book Review – “Voices From Chernobyl” by Svetlana Alexievich
The fire and subsequent disaster in Chernobyl on April 26, 1986, was one of the largest nuclear disasters of all time. Located in the Ukraine, which was then a part of the Soviet Union, the Chernobyl incident was mismanaged and covered up by a weakening government. Svetlana Alexievich’s Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster (translated by Keith Gessen) is a collection of stories and memories that are equal parts history and horror.

Book Review of Jaswant Singh’s “Jinnah, India, Partition, Independence”
Jaswant Singh’s latest book on Jinnah and partition of India is a well written and scholarly work. Jawant writes against the general grain of Hindu thought that Jinnah was a villain. He brings out the fact that Jinnah was a secular individual who was driven by the Hindu leaders of the Congress to become a sole spokesperson of the Indian Muslims. The book is an attempt to rationalize the role of Jinnah in the partition of the country.
