About

I've reported (from 70+ countries) and edited international news and analysis for four decades, most recently at foreign-affairs institutions in Washington. My recent years' work -- including op-ed essays, books, a policy newsletter, website articles, speeches and congressional testimony -- focuses on violent conflicts (in Ukraine, Afghanistan and elsewhere) and how to stop them.I've been a correspondent and editor at The Washington Post, New York's Newsday and Bloomberg News, resident in Rabat, Tunis, Paris, New Delhi, Tashkent, Kyiv, Abidjan and Islamabad (as well as Washington and New York). I also reported for Reuters, CBS, France24 and the Christian Science Monitor. I edited a book on the militarization of U.S. foreign policy in the half-century since President Eisenhower warned Americans about the military-industrial complex.Specialties: international relations, security and wars; news reporting and editing (print, broadcast, web); investigative reporting (on corruption, human rights and war crimes); international news management (foreign desk operations, foreign correspondents and bureaus); op-ed writing/editing; think-tank communications; book reviews (on international affairs); and training/mentoring of young journalists and writers.
