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, Jewish Quarterly, Conde Nast Traveller, and Monocle. On the web I write for More Intelligent Life, Jewcy, Harry’s Place and the First Post.

Watch Jaffa Stories on BBC World News and the BBC News channel - it's a documentary film based on City of Oranges, featuring many of the characters from the book. It goes out between May 7th and May 12th.

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.
