The paperback is now out. At a time when the Middle East is once again in turmoil, immodestly I suggest you take a look at my book to see how the region ended up the way it is. Also available as an audiobook.
Picador just sent first copies of my new book, published on 1st Sept. It follows my BBC series Our Man in the Middle East. Ridiculously proud that I took most of the photos, including the jacket. If you need one book to help you navigate the Mideast, I hope it will be this one.

John is correct. We’re not perfect at the BBC but we work very hard to do our best. If you want us to be around in 10 years it’s time to stand up to those who want to do us in.
I’ve warned for some years now that the concerted attacks on the BBC would end in its destruction. Only a determined few want this to happen. The rest are unthinkingly caught up in the mud-slinging, or feel powerless. If you want the BBC to survive, now’s the time to speak up.
