Peter Schweizer Biography

Investigative journalist and author Peter Schweizer has appeared on the "New York Times" bestseller list eight times, most recently for his #1 "New York Times" bestselling book, "Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans."

Four of his previous books, "Red Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win," "Profiles in Corruption," "Secret Empires," and "Clinton Cash" were also "New York Times" bestsellers. Peter founded the "Governmental Accountability Institute" (GAI) in 2012 and serves as its president. Previously, he was a consultant to the Office of Presidential Speechwriting in the White House for President George W. Bush. He has also served as a member of the Ultraterrorism Study Group at the U.S. government’s Sandia National Laboratory and is a former consultant to NBC News. His books have been translated into eleven languages, and he is a frequent guest commentator on television networks, radio talk shows, and podcasts. He is also the host of GAI’s own weekly podcast, "The Drill Down," which relentlessly exposes cronyism and corruption in Washington.

Peter is also the author of "Extortion: How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes, and Line Their Own Pockets." Both "Extortion" and the preceding book, "Throw Them All Out," were featured in segments on CBS’s "60 Minutes" program.

His other nonfiction books include "Reagan’s War" (Doubleday, 2002), which the "Washington Post" praised as “A fascinating, well-written, useful and important look at one of the three or four most important American political leaders of the 20th century. No serious assessment of the 40th president of the United States can ignore the central importance of anti-communism in his career; after Schweizer none will.” The "Los Angeles Times" called it “A rousing and compelling case that Reagan’s personal and political odyssey…was central to bringing down the ‘evil empire.’” He is also the co-author of "The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty" (Doubleday, 2004), which the "New York Times" called “Fascinating…Provides illuminating insights into the internal dynamics of the Bush family dynasty.” The "New York Post" declared “If you want to know as fully as can be told the story of how the Bushes rose from Midwestern obscurity to equal the records of families like the Roosevelts, the Kennedys, and the Adamses — this is the book.” Doubleday, 2004), which the New York Times called “Fascinating…Provides illuminating insights into the internal dynamics of the Bush family dynasty.” The New York Post declared “If you want to know as fully as can be told the story of how the Bushes rose from Midwestern obscurity to equal the records of families like the Roosevelts, the Kennedys, and the Adamses — this is the book.”

Other nonfiction works include Architects of Ruin (Harper, 2009) Victory (Atlantic Monthly Press, 1994) , Do As I Say (Not As I Do) (Doubleday, 2005) and Makers and Takers (Doubleday, 2008).

He was also a contributor to Living in the Eighties (Oxford University Press, 2008).

His articles have appeared in Foreign Affairs, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, National Review, and elsewhere. He has appeared on numerous radio and television programs.
