Andrew MacGregor Marshall is a journalist, political risk consultant and corporate investigator, focusing mainly on Southeast Asia. Born in Scotland in 1971, he studied literature and economics at Cambridge University and spent 17 years as a correspondent for Reuters, covering conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories and East Timor, and political upheaval in Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar and Israel. Marshall resigned from Reuters in controversial circumstances in June 2011 after the news agency refused to publish his analysis of leaked U.S. cables illuminating the role played by Thailand's monarchy in the political conflict that has engulfed the kingdom. Now a fugitive from Thai law as a result of his journalism about the royal family, he lives in Singapore with his Thai wife and a half-Thai son, Charlie. |
