Tim Marshall is best known for his reporting and analysis of developments in foreign news and international diplomacy. He was Diplomatic Editor and Foreign Correspondent for Sky News. After thirty years’ experience in news reporting and presenting, he left full time news journalism to concentrate on writing and analysis. Marshall began his career in journalism with three years as IRN's Paris correspondent and extensive work for BBC radio and TV, after which he joined Sky News. Reporting from Europe, the USA and Asia, Tim became Middle East Correspondent based in Jerusalem. His celebrated six-hour unbroken broadcasting stint as ground attack went in during the Gulf War made news reporting history. Marshall also reported in the field from Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia during the Balkan wars of the 1990's. He spent the majority of the 1999 Kosovo crisis in Belgrade, where he was one of the few western journalists who stayed on to report from one of the main targets of NATO bombing raids. In recent years he covered the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria. He still is a regular guest on BBC, Sky News and on Monocle 24 Radio’s “Midori House” commenting on foreign affairs. He is the founder and editor of 'www.thewhatandthewhy.com'. Launched in February 2015, the site analyses world events and has contributions from writers from the world of politics and journalism. So far he has written four books. His first book “Shadowplay: The Overthrow of Slobodan Milosevic” was a bestseller in former Yugoslavia and continues to be one of the most highly regarded accounts of that period. A second book, "Dirty Northern B*st*rds!" and Other Tales from the Terraces: The Story of Britain’s Football Chants” was published in 2014, to widespread acclaim. Marshall’s book “Prisoners of Geography” was a New York Times Best Seller and #1 Sunday Times bestseller. In his latest book “Divided – Why we are living in an age of walls”, Tim Marshall analyses why we feel more divided than ever, why walls are going up everywhere and why nationalism and identity politics are on the rise once more.
