He reviews books for ''The Economist'', the ''New York Times'' and ''Literary Review''.〔 ==The Yael Azoulay spy series== LeBor is currently writing a series of novels set in the United Nations featuring Yael Azoulay, a former Mossad agent. Yael now works as the covert negotiator for the secretary-general, brokering the secret deals that keep the wheels of superpower diplomacy turning - and the global corporations in business. The series was inspired by the Biblical character of Yael, who killed the Canaanite general Sisera, and LeBor's time as a reporter covering the Yugoslav wars when he encountered U.N. officials and peacekeeping troops.〔http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/a-biblical-inspiration-for-a-modern-thriller/〕 The Yael Azoulay series also draws on LeBor's non-fiction book ''Complicity with Evil: The United Nations in the Age of Modern Genocide'', which investigates the U.N.'s failure to stop the genocides in Bosnia, Rwanda and Darfur. ''Complicity with Evil'' takes its title from a U.N. report examining the organisation's role during these crises. The book focuses on the role of U.N. officials. The Yael Azoulay series explores the ethical and political dilemmas faced by U.N. officials under conditions of extreme stress and pressure. The first volume in the Yael Azoulay series, ''The Geneva Option'', was published in summer 2013 by HarperCollins in the United States and by Telegram in Britain. The plot is based on a conspiracy by French, German and Israeli companies to take over global supplies of Coltan, a mineral essential for the production of computers and mobile telephones. Yael discovers that the corporations plan to use the United Nations as a front to foment a new genocide in Africa.〔http://www.harpercollins.com/9780062208552/the-geneva-option〕 ''The Washington Stratagem'', the second volume, was published by HarperCollins US in November 2014 and will be published by Head of Zeus in Britain in spring 2015.
