Peter Schweizer

Peter Schweizer (B.A. George Washington Univ., M.Phil. Oxford Univ.) is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. A former consultant to NBC News, he also served as a member of the Ultraterrorism Study Group at the U.S. Government’s Sandia National Laboratory.

He is the author of a number of books, including Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy (Doubleday, October 2005), which spent eight weeks on the New York Times bestsellers list, The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty (Doubleday, 2004/Anchor, 2005) which the New York Times called “the best” of the books on the Bush family, and Reagan’s War: The Epic Story of His Forty Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism (Doubleday, 2002/Anchor 2003).

With Caspar Weinberger, he wrote a novel, Chain of Command (Simon & Schuster, June 2005) that was given a starred review by Publishers Weekly, as a “debut political thriller crackling with a chilling authenticity and riveting dirty dealing…a superbly paced, tightly plowed winner.”
