He was educated at Eton and Oxford and wrote his first book, “Bosie: A Biography of Lord Alfred Douglas,” at age 20.

My interview with Douglas Murray is another global conversation about America from the experience of those in media, politics, technology, entertainment, business, universities, and the law.
