Robin Knight reported around the world for American newsmagazines and corporate publications for 40 years. He began covering international events in 1968 when he joined US News & World Report and soon after found himself in Northern Ireland as the civil rights movement began. Over the next 28 years, working for this prestigious American weekly publication, he reported from 50 countries in Europe, the Mideast and Africa. Later he wrote for Time magazine in various capacities including as a special contributor and a book reviewer.
Joining BP plc in 1997 as Editorial Writer he contributed to The BP Magazine and other BP publications covering the company’s activities from China to Colombia, the US, Iran, Azerbaijan and Trinidad until 2003. Since then he has written for many outlets in the UK and around the world and run his own company Knightwrite Ltd.
At various times Robin Knight has been based in London, Moscow, Johannesburg, Rome and Washington DC. In the course of his career he interviewed numerous heads of state, covered wars in Rhodesia, Namibia, the Mideast and the Balkans and was on the scene at key moments during the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and Russia. Many of his articles and columns have been syndicated in the US and elsewhere and he has won several international awards for his reporting.
A Road Less Travelled is a compelling record of an adventurous, varied and privileged life from early days on the Isle of Wight in the post-war world, to university education in Ireland and the US and on to an enviable career as a globe-trotting foreign correspondent for a weekly news magazine that would be difficult to emulate today.
