Gwynne Dyer

Gwynne Dyer (born April 17, 1943) is a London-based independent Canadian journalist, syndicated columnist and military historian.

He was born in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, and joined the Royal Canadian Navy at the age of sixteen. While still in the navy, he obtained a BA in History from Memorial University of Newfoundland in 1963; an MA in Military History from Rice University, Houston, Texas, in 1966; and a PhD in Military and Middle Eastern History at King's College London in 1973. Dyer served in the Canadian, American and British navies. He was employed as a Senior Lecturer in War Studies at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, 1973-77. In 1973 he began writing articles for leading London newspapers on the Arab-Israeli conflict, and soon decided to abandon academic life for a full-time career in journalism. His twice-weekly column on international affairs is published by 175 papers in 45 countries and is translated into more than a dozen languages.
