Michael Holroyd confronts an army of automobiles in this charming book. Weaving together memoir & historical anecdote he traces his relationship with cars through a lifetime of biography. Learning to drive was no easy matter for Michael: the lessons required military precision when practising how to get in & out of his car correctly. His biographical subjects also had their difficulties: Bernard Shaw drove with reckless gusto when overtaking his eightieth year; Vita Sackville-Wests car became a chamber for sudden romantic assignations & getaways; while Augustus John & his family careered through vulnerable villages as the poor vehicle piled high with bohemian friends stuttered & jerked along in first gear. Wry thoughtful & very funny On Wheels is an elegy to the glamour of the car. Subtle & perceptive Michael Holroyd finds surprising ways to understand the past & challenge our view of the future. ...

Told through diary entries interspersed with the stories of many Ethiopian Jews in their own words this is the gripping account of the Jewish Agency's co-ordinator of Ethiopian aliyah as he worked over a decade to free the Beta Israel from shocking conditions. With Ethiopia overrun by rebels the Jews had left their villages in northern Ethiopia by the thousands to trek for weeks to the Sudan. There in squalid refugee camps untold numbers died of disease & malnutrition. Those left alive were motivated only by the desire to return to Zion.
