April Fool

by Yvonne Fein
Yvonne Fein, is an award winning playwright ('On Edge' in 1992), and author of both short fiction and non-fiction. She has edited the Melbourne Chronicle, and Generation, as well as two collections of memoirs by Holocaust survivors, one of which won the Banjo Award for Biography. She has taught in schools and has been a writer-in-residence.
Her novel, April Fool, is the first of the April Taub investigation novels, and introduces us to a seriously funny, wisecracking feisty young woman. April Taub is a Melbourne thirty-something rebel with a cause. A freelance journalist, she also has more than a passing interest in chasing Nazi war criminals. A moment of indiscretion sees her stumbling onto a nationwide conspiracy with potentially fatal consequences to herself and her organisation.
Full of witty snappy dialogue, April Fool is a great read.

Australia and Israel: An Ambiguous Relationship
by Chanan Reich

Australia and Israel have always had a close relationship or so most people believe.  But does the historical record support this assumption.  Chanan Reich examined the official archival records of both countries from 1915 until the aftermath of the Six-Day War of 1967 and reveals the attitudes of significant Australian political figures. He gives snapshots of the key Israelis, and highlights the bridging role of the Australian Jewish community and tells the fascinating story of a surprisingly complex and ambiguous relationship.  Chanan Reich is a visiting scholar and lecturer at the Centre for the Study of Jewish Civilisation at Monash University.  Now living in Israel, and having lived and worked in Australia for twenty years, he is at home in both countries.
