Douglas Murray is a bestselling author and commentator based in the UK.

Douglas Murray is the Director of the Centre for Social Cohesion (CSC), a non-partisan think-tank in Westminster, London. Founded in 2007 to promote human rights, tolerance and greater cohesion among the UK's ethnic and religious communities and within wider British society, the CSC is the first think-tank in the UK to specialise in studying radicalisation and extremism within Britain.

A best-selling author and political commentator, Murray's writings have appeared across the British and foreign press. A columnist for Standpoint magazine, he writes for many other publications including the Spectator and appears regularly across the British and foreign broadcast media.

In 2005 he published the critically acclaimed Neoconservatism: Why We Need It (SAU, UK: Encounter Books, US), which Christopher Hitchens praised in the Washington Examiner as "a very cool but devastating analysis". The British historian Andrew Roberts hailed him 'The right's answer to Michael Moore', continuing, 'This book shows how to fight and win the War on Terror'.

In 2007 Murray co-authored Towards a Grand Strategy for an Uncertain World: Renewing Transatlantic Partnership with Gen. Dr. Klaus Naumann, Gen. John Shalikashvili, Field Marshal The Lord Inge, Adm. Jacques Lanxade, Gen. Henk van den Breemen and Benjamin Bilski.

In 2008 he co-authored Victims of Intimidation: Freedom of Speech within Muslim communities, a report for the Centre for Social Cohesion. Murray is also one of the contributors to the forthcoming book Being British, a compilation of essays on Britishness edited by the Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Matthew d'Ancona.

Murray is a trustee of the European Freedom Fund, a member of the Advisory Board of the European Institute for the Study of Contemporary Anti-Semitism and a member of the International Advisory Board for NGO Monitor.
