Background
Peter Paul Anatol Lieven was born on 28 June 1960 in London to Alexander and Veronica Eileen Mary Lieven (née Monahan).[5] His siblings include Elena Lieven, Dominic Lieven, and Dame Nathalie Lieven. He attended the City of London School, and received a BA in history and a PhD in political science from Jesus College, Cambridge.[1][3][6]
Career
Journalist and academic
In the mid-1980s, Lieven was a journalist with the Financial Times covering Pakistan and Afghanistan, while also covering India as a freelancer.[2][3][7] In the latter half of 1989, he covered the revolutions in Czechoslovakia and Romania for the Times.[2] In 1990, he worked for The Times (London) covering the former USSR, during which time he covered the Chechen War (1994–1996).[2][3] In 1998, he edited Strategic Comments at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, while also working for the Eastern Services of the BBC.[3]
In 2000 through 2005, Lieven was a senior associate for foreign and security policy at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.[2][3] Lieven served as chair of International Relations and Terrorism Studies at King's College London, where he remains a visiting professor.[3] In 2006, Lieven became a professor at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service at its campus in Qatar.[1][3] Since 2005, Lieven has been a senior researcher (Bernard L. Schwartz fellow and American Strategy Program fellow) at the New America Foundation, where he focuses on US global strategy and the War on Terrorism.[1][3]
Book author
Lieven's 2011 book Pakistan: A Hard Country was based on Lieven's experiences of covering the country. Lisa Kaaki of Arab News said, “This book gives an insight into the soul of Pakistan, a country often misunderstood and wrongly portrayed in the media"[8] The Independent called the book, "a finely researched blend of the nation's 64-year history."[9]
Lieven's America Right or Wrong: An Anatomy of American Nationalism was published in 2004. In Foreign Affairs the book was described as 'intelligent and often provocative'[10] whilst in The Guardian the book was praised by Martin Woollacott who wrote: "It is Anatol Lieven's contention in this illuminating book that Bin Laden's assault on the United States stripped away many of the remaining restraints on the intolerant, irrational, and self-destructive side of American nationalism. Whether this nationalism is a greater problem than that represented by Islamic extremism is a moot point, but it is clear that the combination of the two could bring disaster on us all'.[11]
