‘I loved the nuggets of cultural history with which Prantera dots her novel; little details that bring everything into sharp relief. Mohawk’s Brood is a beautifully realised novel of a world that no longer exists.’

Mohawk’s Brood by Amanda Prantera is reviewed by Chasing Bawa.

‘Throughout my twenties I always wanted to write a book but never got round to it. My job as a features editor at Tatler, the whirligig of London parties and life got in the way. It wasn’t until I had my son that I took stock and realised the time was now. I took a gamble and didn’t return to work after maternity leave. I’m glad it worked out that way as I had more life experience to reap for my characters and inspiration.’

In an article published in the Telegraph today entitled Replacing photojournalists with drones will only bring us ‘war porn’ Oggy Boytchev, author of Simpson and I: Between Two Worlds, made the following comment:

‘John Simpson and I put our lives in danger year after year, and countless other war correspondents and their crews do the same. An unmanned drone has no fear, no family, and no doubts. It will fly into the most dangerous, openly hostile environment and capture the best, most incredible images that us “real” reporters could ever hope for.’

Read his book, Simpson and I, about the risks war correspondents face in the pursuit of news. You’ll find it a most compulsive read given the present turmoil in the Middle East.

Buy your copy now and you’ll realise what a dangerous world we live in.

‘Looking for a holiday read? Tatler contributor Ticky Hedley-Dent’s debut novel, Murdered in Chelsea – in which a journalist investigates the seemingly unrelated deaths of two aristocrats – is the perfect poolside page-turner.’

‘War is such a danger for frontline correspondents and cameramen that they will be replaced by remote control drones within a few years, according to the producer who accompanied the veteran BBC reporter John Simpson on some of the riskiest assignments.’

With the conflict still raging in Gaza, it’s worth reading all about Khalid Mishal – the political head of Hamas who now resides and operates from Qatar.

Our book, Kill Khalid, written by Paul McGeough, which received brilliant reviews when first published in 2009, tells the story how in 1997 the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad poisoned the Hamas leader in broad daylight on the streets of Amman, Jordan…

Then little-known, the Palestinian leader slipped into a coma – but not before the Mossad agents escape was bungled and Jordanian troops were called in to surround the Israeli embassy.

As Mishal’s condition deteriorated under the influence of a mysterious poison, the episode quickly spiralled into a diplomatic crisis. The Middle East feared the worst, but a series of high-stakes negotiations, brokered by President Bill Clinton, led to the Israelis handing over the antidote, thereby saving Mishal and setting the stage for his phenomenal political ascendancy.

Get a copy of the book now, and delve into the complexity of the current situation in Gaza which goes from bad to worse.

The book Eyes in Gaza published by Quartet is so relevant today that it is worth reading if only to realise that war is the wrong answer to a dispute. A blood bath is so reprehensible in a civilised society that presumably advocates peace and tranquility to every human being, irrespective of his race or creed. We are all God’s cherished children and as such we must refrain from violence and preach good will and the love of thy neighbour. Get a copy of Eyes in Gaza and you will see why it is such an important book to read.

This week we are offering Eyes in Gaza by Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse for only £10! Get your copy here now.

I spent last weekend in low spirits bordering on a bout of depression seeing children and civilians being torn to pieces in Gaza while, agonisingly, the world still looks on.

I have repeated many times in my long career as a publisher that the killing of any human being, whether a Palestinian or an Israeli, is a crime in a civilised society which pretends to care and worship the sanctity of life.

And yet in reality, this is not the case. We make excuses for dispensing with human life on the grounds that we have to defend ourselves against the aggression of the other side, and the arguments relentlessly carry on while blood is shed on a scale that makes horrible viewing and instigates more hatred and violence.

When will the butchery stop? There will be no winner in this brutal battle. On the contrary, grieving mothers will darken the skies with their tears and homeless families will mourn their losses for years to come. Haven’t both parties to the dispute suffered enough? Every day that passes will become a reminder of atrocities perpetrated by a senseless political dogma that inflicts great pain and unimaginable suffering on people stricken by poverty, forlorn and whose main objective in life is to survive in a world now bereft of any dignity, even in death.

The world at large has a duty to put a stop to this heinous state of affairs where the use of the gun as opposed to diplomacy has become the tool of oppression and the only way to resolve a dispute.

President Obama seems unmoved by the extent of the bloodshed taking place and carries on despite the seriousness of the situation, as if telling the world that the greatest power in the world, which he presides over, is unable to bring the warring parties to their senses.

Yet without US support neither Israel nor for that matter Egypt can operate without the aid of their benefactors. It is time that Obama rediscovers his balls or be confined to history as a weak president whose rhetoric invariably fails to match his actions.’
