worked as a freelance journalist, columnist, broadcaster and lecturer on
international affairs for more than 20 years, but he was originally
trained as an historian. Born in Newfoundland, he received degrees from
Canadian, American and British universities, finishing with a Ph.D. in
Military and Middle Eastern History from the University of London. He

175 papers in some 45 countries.
His first television series,
the 7-part documentary 'War', was aired in 45 countries in the mid-80s.
One episode, 'The Profession of Arms', was nominated for an Academy
Award. His more recent works include the 1994 series 'The Human
Race', and 'Protection Force', a three-part series on peacekeepers in
Bosnia, both of which won Gemini awards. His award-winning radio
documentaries include 'The Gorbachev Revolution', a seven-part series
based on Dyer's experiences in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet
Union in 1987-90, and 'Millenium', a six-hour series on the emerging
global culture.
His current projects include
a book and a television documentary on the looming strategic
confrontation in Asia and a radio series on the long-range political and
demographic implications of extreme climate change.
