In 1998 he became the first western journalist in more than two years to interview the fugitive warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.

From 1999 to 2001 he worked in Sarajevo as a press spokesman for OHR, the organisation charged with implementing the Dayton, Ohio peace accord that ended Bosnia's savage civil war in 1995. He has also written A Million Bullets (voted Military Book of the Year by the British Army in 2008) and Taliban.
