This is so good: a friend and I are trading anecdotes from it about velvet trousers, topless sunbathing and compulsory simultaneous orgasms

I'll just leave this here ... (tho the simultaneous orgasms involve Italian radical leftists, if u were wondering) thank you james

thank you James. from you especially very much appreciated.

v pleased to report that The Spectator likes #TheRevolutionists too. Is "superb and monumental" apparently. which is very nice to read. And makes good point on how few people it took to cause carnage half way round the world ... www.spectator.co.uk/article/how-...

v happy this a.m. to see👇 a comprehensive and kind review of #TheRevolutionists in the Guardian. "combines a flair for period detail – sideburns and aviator shades, berets and Beretta pistols – with impressive digests of Arab and Iranian history". www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o...

With no law, order or any alternative administration under the ceasefire, the group is using violence to deter rivals and to hang onto power. this will have consequences for any "peace" deal. My take here: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

In 1982, a US president told Israel to end a war. The lessons from then are very relevant now. It's not the threat you fought that is the problem, but the one that is coming. A quick oped based on my new book, #TheRevolutionists (out now) www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

like it or not, Netanyahu dominates Israeli politics, now as before. If anyone thinks the ceasefire is the endgame for a man who has been in power in Israel longer than David Ben Gurion, founding father, then think again ... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

yes, there is much that can go wrong, yes the destruction,scars and trauma will be with us for decades, but to now write about a possible, imminent, even definitive end to this bloody, relentless, appalling war is ... well... a moment www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

I'll be talking about my new book and The Remarkable True Story of The Extremists Who Hijacked the 1970s .. tonight in London expect spies, explosions, getaway cars, war, politics, assassinations and beauty queens book last seats here: kilntheatre.com/whats-on/the...

v pleased by v kind review of The Revolutionists (published on Friday) in the Times. esp as by legendary Simon Sebag Montefiore. www.thetimes.com/culture/book...

so this is nuts, and very nice. My new book #TheRevolutionists has actually made it onto the Baillie Gifford prize shortlist. It is published today too. To say I'm thrilled would be something of an understatement. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o...

For many Israelis, Netanyahu’s warning to get used to growing isolation confirmed what they already suspected of his priorities - but will also reinforce his political base my report from Sderot and Tel Aviv here ICYMI www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

this is powerful, moving and important from my fantastic colleague in Gaza, Malak Tantesh (and that's her dad in the hat, a very dear friend) www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2...

very pleased with this review in the FT of my new book - The Revolutionists (out in 1O days in UK). "dramatic, deeply researched account looks at the hijackings and hostage-takings of the 1970s — and their connection with radicalism today" www.ft.com/content/96d6...

very pleased that The Revolutionists is on the Baillie Gifford longlist with 11 brilliant works by brilliant writers. they've even done a nice little video. and my book looks v handsome indeed! youtu.be/W34vK8Tpcz0
