'Ben Fine is no ordinary Australian... but these aren't exactly ordinary times.
A clash of cultures has beset the world: George W. Bush has declared the War on Terror, and the Fines, a Jewish family with a dog named Lenin, have taken in a Muslim homestay student. Despite the Fines' liberalist ideology and their best intentions to show their guest how the world can be a better place, Ben begins to fear that terror may lurk even within his own household.
The 2006 Lebanon War between Hezbollah and Israel breaks out... not just on TV, but in the Fines' living-room. All hell breaks loose in the Fine household as Ben Fine turns defender of the Jewish nation and Western freedom.
Sometimes funny, sometimes dark... the ending will leave you breathless...' (Publisher's blurb)
