Two good but contrasting novels set in one of my favourite historical periods, the often overlooked British Mandate for Palestine. The Red Balcony, by the British/Jewish Jonathan Wilson is based on the unsolved murder of the prominent Jewish leader Haim Arlosoroff, a close aide of future Prime...

You just know Bremner's going to hack him!

No idea but I'll have a guess - Labby
