My research interests are focused on journalism and war, Russia, the Middle East, and the intersection between journalism and political power in a historical context. My most recent book is 'Assignment Moscow: Reporting on Russia from Lenin to Putin' was published by Bloomsbury (2020, new edition 2023).
My next book, 'The Return of Russia: from Yeltsin to Putin, the story of a vengeful Kremlin' is forthcoming from Yale University Press in January 2026.
