Christina Lamb OBE, Chief Foreign Correspondent at the Sunday Times, has reported from the world’s hotspots now for decades, including Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

She wrote a searing analysis of the problems with many of the western involvements in these countries, and about her experience being ambushed by the Taliban in Iraq.

But in the years since 9/11 she’s been shocked many times while watching the west, “fight a war with our hands tied, committing too little too late, failing to understand local dynamics and turning a blind eye as our enemy was helped by our own ally, Pakistan”.
