His latest series of books focus on World War II.〔Robert Wilson, Wall Street Journal – review of Lisbon, War in the Shadows of the City of Light - http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052970204531404577052460171553838〕 His international bestseller - ''Lisbon: War in the Shadows in the City of Light, 1939-1945'', recounts the pivitol role the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, played during World War II and how this small European country guided by its authoritarian leader António de Oliveira Salazar survived the war not only physically intact but significantly wealthier. The book is set within the context of a country that was frantically trying to hold on to its self-proclaimed wartime neutrality, but which, in reality, was increasingly caught in the middle of the economic, and naval, wars between the Allies and the Nazis. In his book, ''Brazil: The Fortunes of War, World War II and the Making of Modern Brazil'', Lochery reveals a long-buried chapter of World War II, showing how the cunning statecraft and economic opportunism of Brazil's leaders, under the dictatorship of Getǘlio Dornelles Vargas, transformed it into a regional superpower and uncovers the little-known origins of one of the world’s emerging economic powerhouse. In 2013, he completed the first volume of a major work on the modern history of Portugal; ''Outside Looking In, 1933-1974'' tells the stories of the colourful array of international personalities who came to the city of Lisbon during the one of the most controversial periods in its modern history – the period of the Portuguese Estado Novo. Lochery has additionally produced a series of books, which focus on the Middle East – ''Loaded Dice'' (2007), ''The View from the Fence'' (2005), ''Why Blame Israel'' (2004), ''The Difficult Road to Peace'' (1999) and ''The Israeli Labour Party'' (1997). ''The View from the Fence'', was shortlisted for the 2006 Jewish Quarterly Wingate Prize〔Jewish-Quarterly Wingate Prize: Jewish Quarterly-Wingate Prize〕 and additionally featured in David Hare’s Broadway hit - The Wall.〔David Hare, The Wall: http://www.theguardian.com/stage/2009/apr/20/wall-david-hare-theatre-review〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neill Lochery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
