In his review of Democracy Kills in the Guardian, Martin  Woolacott describes me as ‘the Candide of foreign correspondents,  beginning as an optimist but, as he has gone round the world posing his deceptively simple questions, progressively exposing how pessimistic the honest observer is forced to become. For more than 20 years he has been embarrassing, irritating and sometimes infuriating politicians, officials and businessmen.”

Woolacott agrees with the central theme of the book:- “Indeed, this kind of democracy can kill, as his title suggests, encouraging conflict rather than resolving it. It is an engaging record of a dogged and decent journalist at work.”
