John R Bradley biography
John R. Bradley was born in England in 1970. He was educated at University College London, Dartmouth College in the United States, and Exeter College, Oxford.
Fluent in Arabic, he is the author of four books on the region that draw heavily on his personal experience: Saudi Arabia Exposed (Palgrave Macmillan, 2005), a Foreign Affairs bestseller; the critically acclaimed Inside Egypt (Palgrave Macmillan, 2008; updated 2012), which uniquely and accurately predicted the Jan. 25 Cairo uprising; Behind the Veil of Vice (Palgrave Macmillan, 2010); and After the Arab Spring (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012).
A frequent contributor to the Daily Mail and the Spectator, Bradley’s essays, dispatches, reviews, and op-eds have also appeared in the Washington Quarterly, New Republic, Times Literary Supplement, Salon, Daily Telegraph, The Forward, Evening Standard, New York Post, Sunday Times, Financial Times, Independent, Washington Times, Newsweek, Asia Times, Prospect, and the Economist. He has been interviewed about the Middle East by CNN, the BBC, PBS, NPR, CBS, Fox News, Al-Jazeera English, Sky News, Channel 4 News, Bloomberg TV, and many other media outlets.
And he has lectured, most recently, at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Intelligence Squared in London, The Pacific Council for International Affairs in Los Angeles, and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum at Claremont Mckenna College (California).

How I Found the Agency
I was looking for an agent in the UK and within an hour of contacting Andrew Lownie through his excellent website he replied. After reading all my previously published books the following weekend, from cover to cover, he agreed to take me on to sell the foreign rights globally. His advice was remarkably frank, relevant and supportive.
