Kim Ghattas (English: /ˈxætæs/;[1] born 1977 in Beirut, Lebanon) is a Dutch-Lebanese journalist for the BBC who has covered the US State Department.[2] She is a scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the author of Black Wave: Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the Forty-Year Rivalry That Unraveled Culture, Religion, and Collective Memory in the Middle East, which The New York Times recognized as one of the "100 Notable Books of 2020."[3][4]

Life

Ghattas attended the American University of Beirut, studying political science. At the same time, she worked as an intern at an English-language newspaper in Beirut. She then worked for the Financial Times and the BBC from Beirut. After reporting from the Middle East, in early 2008 she moved to Washington, D.C. to take up a post covering the US State Department.[5][6]

In 2013, Ghattas wrote a book titled The Secretary: A Journey with Hillary Clinton from Beirut to the Heart of American Power about her travels with Hillary Clinton during Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State.[7][8] She later covered Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign for the BBC.[9]

Ghattas's second book, Black Wave: Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the Forty-Year Rivalry That Unraveled Culture, Religion, and Collective Memory in the Middle East, is a post-1979 history of the Middle East.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16]
