I’m a journalist and historian.
I write about world politics, culture and business. My work often has a historical perspective.
I’ve written for The Washington Post, The Economist, Financial Times, The Guardian, The Times and Sunday Times, The Boston Globe, Foreign Policy, The Spectator, New Statesman, Smithsonian, TLS, Literary Review and others. My articles have been translated into French, Portuguese, Albanian and Vietnamese. I’ve appeared on Sky News, BBC World Service, LBC, SiriusXM and the TLS Podcast.
I have a PhD in American history from Cambridge University, where I also taught. I’ve been a Sorensen Fellow at the JFK Presidential Library and a Visiting Researcher at Boston University. I worked in TV for several years.
My agent is Elliot Prior at Curtis Brown in London.
