Welcome to my website - I
am a British author and journalist, based in Budapest. I started
work as a foreign correspondent in 1991, covering the collapse
of Communism and the Yugoslav wars. I've worked in more than 30
countries, enjoyed some hair-raising adventures along the way,
and now report on Central Europe for The Times.
As a budding novelist and literary critic, I review thrillers
and crime novels for the Economist, and non-fiction for
the Sunday Telegraph and Literary Review. I
also contribute to the Sunday Times, the New York
Times, Monocle and Conde Nast Traveller.
On the web I write for More Intelligent Life, Comment
is Free, Jewcy and Harry’s Place.
I recently presented and co-wrote Jaffa
Stories, a documentary for the BBC. It's based on my
book City
of Oranges, and features several of the people who
appear in it.

City
of Oranges, my new book about Israel and Palestine,
tells the true story of six families in Jaffa, three Jewish and
three Arab. It has been critically acclaimed by The Times,
The Guardian, the Jerusalem Post and Ash-Sharq
Al-Awsat among others, and was shortlisted for the 2007
Jewish Quarterly Wingate Prize. The US edition, published
by WW
Norton in May 2007, was an Editor's
Choice in the New York Times.

My other books
include A Heart
Turned East, a journey among Muslim minorities in
the West, a critically acclaimed biography of Slobodan
Milosevic, and the best-selling Hitler's
Secret Bankers, which was short-listed for the Orwell
Prize.
My latest non-fiction work is an exposé of the United Nations'
failure to confront genocide. Complicity
With Evil investigates the UN's actions in Rwanda,
Srebrenica and Darfur, focusing on the role of UN officials.
