Celsius 7/7: How the West's Policy of Appeasement Has Provoked Yet More Fundamentalist Terror - And What Has to Be Done Now (Phoenix Press)
In his column that appeared in the Times on the morning of September 11th, 2001, Michael Gove prophetically argued that the West’s policy of appeasement towards terror would provoke yet greater atrocities. In Celsius 7/7 (named for the date of London’s subway and bus bombings), Gove goes farther still, exploring the sources of Islamic rage, the historical factors that culminated in the current terrorist campaign, and the Muslim world’s troubled relationship to modernity. He also analyzes the intellectual roots and political appeal of Islam and contextualizes today’s fundamentalist challenge. Combining a broad historical sweep with character sketches of key figures such as Donald Rumsfeld, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and Osama bin Laden, Gove offers a shrewd, detached analysis with powerfully convincing recommendations for future action. .

The Provoked Wife (New Mermaids)
In this late Restoration comedy Vanbrugh not only pushes the unhappilymarried couple, which had been good for no more than a raucous subplotin earlier comedies of manners, centre-stage - he also makes theaudience sympathise with the wife: The only thing Sir John and LadyBrute agree on is that they ought not to have married each other; nowhe spends his time in drunken debauchery with his cronies, while shetries to withstand the advances of her admirer Constant. After a seriesof farcical accidents involving cross-dressing and the eternallover-in-the-wardrobe, the couple end where they began. Since the scenein which Sir John disguises as a clergyman was deemed 'immoral andprofane', an alternative scene (in its way equally profane) waswritten, in which he disguises as his own wife. This edition providesboth versions and discusses the play's continuing popularity on thestage..
