Author; Fellow of the Hoover Institution
Peter M Robinson graduated from Dartmouth College in 1979 having majored in English, and then studied for a second BA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics at the University of Oxford. On leaving university in 1982 he was immediately given the job as speech-writer for the then Vice-President George Bush, and later became speech-writer for Ronald Reagan. He remained at the White House for six years, during which he authored over 300 hundred speeches, including Reagan's famous Berlin Wall speech in 1987.
After leaving the White House Robinson enrolled at Stanford Business School. His difficult experiences of taking a quantitative subject are documented in his book Snapshots from Hell: the Making of an MBA (1994). In the early 1990s he joined News Corporation, and became a Fellow of the Hoover Institution in 1993. He currently edits the Hoover Digest, presents a PBS public affairs program, Uncommon Knowledge, and became a trustee of Dartmouth College in 2005. He has written two other books: How Ronald Reagan Changed My Life(2003) and It’s My Party: A Republican's Messy Love Affair with the GOP (2000).
