Brady Kiesling is a former ancient historian/archaeologist from California (Swarthmore College, U.C. Berkeley, American School of Classical Studies, Athens) who returned to scholarship after a twenty-year detour working as a diplomat for the U.S. State Department in Israel, Morocco, Greece, and Armenia. He lives in Athens, Greece. He has written three books, Diplomacy Lessons: Realism for an Unloved Superpower (2006), Greek Urban Warriors: Resistance and Terrorism 1967-2014 (2014), Rediscovering Armenia (2003), and various articles.
