In her provocative new book, The Builder's Stone: How Jews and Christians Built the West -- and Why Only They Can Save It, Melanie Phillips argues that the key lessons for cultural survival lie with the Jewish people in an alliance for civilisation to restore core western values.
Books will be available for purchase and signing on the night.
