Rory McCarthy is a writer and researcher. He spent a decade as a foreign correspondent with the Guardian, with postings in Islamabad, Baghdad, Beirut and Jerusalem. He studied History at Cambridge and Modern Middle Eastern Studies at Oxford and is now writing a DPhil at Oxford on political Islam.

He is the author of Nobody Told Us We Are Defeated, which explores the lives of Iraqis living under the US occupation. You can find a select list of Rory’s articles here and a full archive of his reporting for the Guardian here. Or watch a PBS Frontline documentary about some of the journalists, including Rory, who covered Iraq.
