Praise for ‘Small Wars Permitting’:

‘A potent mix of her best articles, memories and some of the impressions she jotted in notebooks and diaries along the way.’ Guardian.

‘A wonderful retrospective of her dispatches, punctuated with memories of her tenure as a professional stranger in Karachi, Baghdad, Kabul and other danger zones.’ Observer
