His understanding of journalism is “that it must challenge authority – all authority – especially when governments and politicians take us to war.” He is considered the world’s most decorated foreign correspondent, having received numerous awards including the British Press Award’s International Journalist of the Year seven times. His publications include The Point of No Return: the Strike Which Broke the British in Ulster, In the Time of War: Ireland, Ulster and the Price of Neutrality, Pity the Nation: Lebanon at War and The Great War for Civilization: the Conquest of the Middle East.
