  • Articulate and Impassioned

    Antony brings a unique perspective to events in the Middle East at no small cost to himself, I suspect. The podcast flows freely, providing insights that you will find nowhere else.

Q: Why was your 2016 trip to Palestine so profound for you, and how did it lead to writing this book?
