Britain’s best-selling author on international affairs, Tim Marshall is the former Foreign Affairs Editor for Sky News. He has reported from over thirty countries and has covered conflicts in Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Gaza, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria. His 2004 coverage of the Iraq war, and his 2007 report on the Mujahadeen won him a finalist position in the Royal Television Society’s News Event category. He has published six books on international relations. His third book, Prisoners of Geography, became an iconic New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller, with over three million copies sold worldwide. His latest book is The Future of Geography, about Astro-politics.

Tim has been shot with bird pellet in Cairo, bruised by the police in Tehran, arrested by Serbian intelligence, detained in Damascus, declared persona non grata in Croatia, hit over the head with a plank of wood in London, bombed by the RAF in Belgrade, and tear-gassed all over the world. However he says these experiences pale in significance when compared with following his beloved Leeds United to away games against Millwall in the 1980.
