"A Day in the Life of Abed Salama" by Nathan Thrall examines events leading up to a bus crash in the West Bank in 2012 that killed six Palestinian children and one of their teachers. The book builds a relentless case that this tragedy must be remembered, while "The Blazing World" by Jonathan Healey is an engaging and erudite history of revolutionary England during the 17th century. In contrast, "Emperor of Rome" by Mary Beard presents a fascinating account of around 30 emperors over 250 years, while "In Her Nature" by Rachel Hewitt explores the hidden history of trailblazing women who became cyclists, hikers, mountaineers and runners. Finally, "Judgment at Tokyo" by Gary Bass is a meticulously researched account of efforts to prosecute Japanese generals deemed responsible for some of the horrors of the second world war.
