Biography
He was born in Hungary, his father being Tibor Szamuely (1925–1972) and his great-uncle Tibor Szamuely (1890–1919), and he was educated in England at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He worked for some years as an editor at the Times Literary Supplement.
Political views
Szamuely has been an ardent critic of United States foreign policy. Despite his one-time association with the neoconservative Hudson Institute, his opposition to the state of Israel has allied him with the paleoconservative and libertarian movements.[1] He has been highly critical of the workings of the United Nations tribunals, in particular the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.[2] He argues that the ICTY, along with human rights groups like Human Rights Watch, foster conflict rather than reconciliation and serve the interests of Western powers by targeting their opponents, while ignoring or minimizing their, often far more serious, crimes as well as those of their allies.[3] He has been a supporter of Serbia's actions in Yugoslavia.[4]
