Frank does an expert job of detailing the assassination of Lord Moyne, the top British official in the Middle East during WWII. He details the background and motivations of the killers, as well as the militant group to which they belonged. He sugarcoats nothing, leaving the reader to make moral decisions: is it moral to assassinate a colonial official who is the face of your countrymen's oppression? Obviously others would disagree with aspects of that view, but Frank imposes nothing on the reader. He builds a detailed picture of Palestine under British rule and Jewish national aspirations at the time

As Frank shows, nothing is as simple as it seems. When is a freedom fighter a terrorist? At what threshold of colonial oppression is violence justified? You may not agree with the author (or me, for that matter) but it is worth the effort to challenge your convictions and expand your horizons.
