During his distinguished career with the BBC, Nick Bryant came to be regarded as one of its finest foreign correspondents and also its leading authority on the United States. Along with covering all the US presidents from Donald Trump back to Bill Clinton, he has covered some of the most momentous events of our time. The attacks of September 11th, the war in Afghanistan, the Asian tsunami, the death of Princess Diana, the election of Barack Obama and the rise of Donald Trump, who he has interviewed.
He is the author of four books, including the critically-acclaimed When America Stopped Being Great: A History of the Present, which made it onto Joe Biden's desk in the Oval Office, and The Rise and Fall of Australia: How a Great Nation Lost its Way.
He is now the host of ABC Radio National�s Saturday Extra programme, and continues to broadcast on the BBC, Channel Ten and MSNBC.
In addition to his broadcast work, he has a regular column in Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne Age and has written for The Washington Post, The Economist, The Spectator, The Guardian, The Times, The Independent, Foreign Policy, The New Statesman, Good Weekend, Australian Women's Weekly and The Monthly.
His first book, The Bystander: John F. Kennedy and the Struggle for Black Equality is regarded as the definitive historical work on JFK and civil rights. The Washington Post has described him as "A genuine rarity: a Brit who understands America."
He is a history graduate from Cambridge University, and holds a doctorate in US politics from Oxford University. He now lives in Sydney with his wife and three children.
