Charles C. Cook

A senior writer for National Review and a former editor of National Review Online, he has become a familiar voice in conservative journalism. He studied modern history at the University of Oxford, a background that shows up in the historical context and argument-driven style of his work.

Born in the United Kingdom and later based in the United States, he writes and speaks frequently about American politics, law, and public life. In addition to magazine writing, he has appeared across radio, podcasts, and television, helping bring his commentary to a broad audience.

His work is often noted for being opinionated but readable, with an emphasis on constitutional questions, civil liberties, and the traditions behind modern political debates.
