About The Author

He has covered many wars and is remembered for live broadcasts under a Scud attack in Saudi Arabia in 1991 or while being fired upon in Kosovo. His books include Big Boys’ Rules: The SAS and the Secret Struggle against the IRA, described by John Stalker as ‘a book which needed to be written’, and UK Eyes Alpha: Inside British Intelligence, which the Sunday Times found ‘accurate, revelatory and fascinating’.
