Iain King - Wikipedia Iain King From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search British writer King (centre) in Afghanistan, 2009 Iain Benjamin King CBE FRSA is a British writer.[1] King was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 2013 Birthday Honours, for services to governance in Libya, Afghanistan and Kosovo.[2][3] He is a Scholar at the United States Military Academy at West Point,[4] and a former Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies,[5] and at Cambridge University.[6][7][8][1] After seven years work on the Northern Ireland peace process in the 1990s,[5] Iain King held a senior political role in Kosovo’s UN Administration,[9] and co-authored a book on the history of Kosovo and the difficulties of post-war state-building in the Balkans, called Peace at Any Price: How the World Failed Kosovo. His 2008 book, How to Make Good Decisions and Be Right All the Time: Solving the Riddle of Right and Wrong, starts with a history of moral philosophy and then develops a hybrid methodology for ethical decision-making.[10] King's approach has been described as quasi-utilitarian,[11][12] and credited with reconciling competing systems of ethics.[13][14][15] Secrets of The Last Nazi, based on extensive research of the Nazi era, was King's debut novel, first published in 2015.[16][17] The Sun wrote: "A brilliant but unconventional academic races shadowy agents, a deranged killer and power-mad priests to expose a vast conspiracy."[18] A sequel followed in 2016.[16] Making Peace in War is about Afghanistan.[19] King has been featured as a foreign policy analyst on CNN and BBC,[5] and has written for multiple outlets, many of them based in the US, including NBC,[20] Defense One,[21] Prospect,[6] and National Interest.[22] Bibliography[edit] King, Iain; Mason, Whit (2006).
