Book excerpt: As the Daily Mirror's defence correspondent, Chris Hughes was the first western reporter into Iraq after 9/11, the first into Saddam's secret bunker and the only one to visit Osama Bin Laden's mountain lair. He was also the only western journalist present when US Marines killed unarmed demonstrators in Fallujah. In Road Trip to Hell, Hughes recounts numerous stories with wit and irreverence and he has a fine eye for detail and black humour that gives a truly unique insight into a terrible war.
