In this groundbreaking study, David Brauner explores the representation of Jewishness in a number of works by postwar British and American Jewish writers, identifying a transatlantic sensibility characterised by an insistent compulsion to explain themselves and their Jewishness in ambivalent terms. Through detailed readings of novels by famous American authors such as Saul Bellow, Philip Roth, Bernard Malamud and Arthur Miller, alongside those by lesser-known British writers such as Frederic Raphael, Jonathan Wilson, Howard Jacobson and Clive Sinclair, certain common preoccupations emerge: Gentiles who mistake themselves for Jews; Jewish hostility towards Nature; writing (and not writing) about the Holocaust, and the relationship between fact and fiction.

"General Bramble" by Andre Maurois is a fascinating novel that gives a satirical yet insightful exploration of the military status quo and human nature. It follows the existence and profession of General Bramble, a seasoned military leader whose reports replicate the absurdities and contradictions of warfare. Through the lens of General Bramble's studies, Maurois affords a nuanced commentary at the complexities of military lifestyles, bureaucracy, and the impact of struggle on individuals and society. The novel humorously portrays the General's encounters with fellow officers, subordinates, and political figures, highlighting the regularly farcical nature of military operations and the characters concerned. As General Bramble navigates the demanding situations of command and confronts the cruel realities of combat, he grapples with questions of obligation, honor, and morality. Through his adventure, readers are invited to reflect on the human ability for both heroism and folly inside the face of warfare. Maurois's writing is characterized through its wit, sharp statement, and intensity of insight into the human condition. "General Bramble" stays a timeless traditional, providing readers an idea-scary exploration of war and its impact on individuals and society.

As John Harrington grew older, he sat down with his daughter to share the story of his life. What she learned made her rethink the man who had raised her. The tale begins with his childhood in the Australian outback, and follows his immigration to English and enrollment in the British forces in 1914. After being injured in France, he is hired by the British Foreign office, which sends him to Berlin as a passport clerk in the 1930s. For the next ten years, he lives in a world of intrigue and espionage as the Nazi regime grows stronger around him. This is a compelling inside look at the rise of Nazism in the 1930s, from subtle changes in the people’s everyday behaviour to Hitler’s sinister consolidation of power. It is an eyewitness account of an era we all read about, but rarely experience with such a personal touch. Having promised not to release the story until after his passing, Darlene Harrington now shares her father’s remarkable life, which will change the way we understand the Second World War and the impact one person can have on history.
