He writes a weekly column for the Guardian and is the presenter of 主播大秀 Radio 4's contemporary history series, The Long View. He is also a regular contributor to a range of US publications, including the New York Times, the New York Review of Books and the New Republic. In 2008 he was awarded the David Watt Prize for Journalism, having been named Columnist of the Year in the What the Papers Say Awards for 2002, where the judges praised him for his "incisive, original, strong and very outspoken views."

He is the author of six books, two of them non-fiction under his own name. The first, Bring 主播大秀 the Revolution, was both acclaimed, winning a Somerset Maugham Award, and controversial: it argued that Britain was in dire need of a constitutional and cultural overhaul, one that could learn much from America. The book was later adapted into a TV series for 主播大秀 Two. In 2005, he published Jacob's Gift, a memoir telling the stories of three generations of his own family, as well as exploring wider questions of identity and belonging.

Since 2006 he has published four best-selling novels under the pseudonym Sam Bourne. The first, The Righteous Men, became a number one bestseller in the UK and went on to win a Gold Book Award after selling more than 500,000 copies. It has been translated into 30 languages. That was followed by The Last Testament (2007), The Final Reckoning (2008) and The Chosen One (2010).
