Nov 29th, 2007 by MESH

Andrew Exum is pursuing his doctorate in the Department of War Studies, King’s College London. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, he served in the U.S. Army from 2000 to 2004, leaving active duty as a captain. He was decorated for valor in 2002 while leading a platoon of light infantry in Afghanistan. Subsequently, he led a platoon of Army Rangers into Iraq in 2003 and into Afghanistan in 2004. After leaving the Army, Exum earned a master’s degree in Middle Eastern Studies at the American University of Beirut. In 2006-2007, he was a Soref fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, where he focused on contemporary Middle Eastern insurgencies and counter-insurgency strategies. He is the author of This Man’s Army: A Soldier’s Story from the Front Lines of the War on Terrorism (2005) and Hizballah at War: A Military Assessment (2006).
