About
John R. Schindler is professor of national security affairs at
the U.S. Naval War College, where he’s been since 2005, and
where he teaches courses on security, strategy, intelligence,
terrorism, and occasionally military history. Before joining
the NWC faculty, he spent nearly a decade with the
National Security Agency as an intelligence analyst and
counterintelligence officer.
There’s not much he can say about that, except that he
worked problems in Eastern Europe and the Middle East with a counterespionage
flavor, and he collaborated closely with other government agencies who would
probably prefer he didn’t mention them. He’s also served as an officer specializing in
cryptology (now called information warfare for no particular reason) in the U.S. Navy Reserve.
He is a senior fellow of the International History Institute at Boston University and
is chairman of the Partnership for Peace Consortium‘s Combating Terrorism
Working Group, a unique body which brings together scholars and practitioners
from more than two dozen countries across Eurasia to tackle problems of terrorism,
extremism, and political violence. He has lectured on terrorism and security in over
twenty countries.

He is a historian by background, with a B.A. and M.A. from the
University of Massachusetts and a Ph.D. from McMaster University.
His books deal with topics like the Italian front in World War I,
Islamist extremism in the Balkans, and an insider’s look at how Al-Qa’ida
thinks and operates. He’s currently writing a couple books on cool stuff.
