Born in Mumbai, India, Dinesh D’Souza came to the U.S. as an exchange student and has since established a prominent career as a writer, scholar, public intellectual, and renowned filmmaker.

A former policy analyst in the Reagan White House, D’Souza also served as John M. Olin Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and the Robert and Karen Rishwain Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He served as the president of The King’s College in New York City from 2010 to 2012.

Called one of the “top young public-policy makers in the country” by Investor’s Business Daily, D’Souza quickly became known as a major influencer on public policy through his writings. His first book, "Illiberal Education," publicized the phenomenon of political correctness in America’s colleges and universities and became a New York Times bestseller for 15 weeks.

In 1995, D’Souza published "The End of Racism," which became one of the most controversial books of the time and another national bestseller. Following his success, he later published, "Ronald Reagan: How an Ordinary Man Became an Extraordinary Leader," "The Virtue of Prosperity," "What’s So Great About America," "Letters to a Young Conservative" and "The Enemy at Home," among many others.

Just as D’Souza is one of the nation’s most articulate spokesmen for a reasoned and thoughtful conservatism, he has also been an equally forceful defender of Christianity. "What’s So Great About Christianity" not only explained the core doctrines of the Christian faith, it also explained how he believes the freedom and prosperity associated with Western Civilization rest upon the foundation of biblical Christianity. He later released, "Life After Death: The Evidence" and "Godforsaken, in which he takes on the pain and suffering critique of the faith.

In 2010, D’Souza wrote "The Roots of Obama’s Rage," which was described as the most influential political book of the year, and set off a firestorm which ultimately led to D’Souza’s first film, "2016: Obama’s America." The film quickly rose to the second highest grossing political documentary of all time, and he has since released three more documentaries.

D’Souza has been named one of America’s most influential conservative thinkers by the New York Times Magazine, and he has appeared on numerous television programs, including "Tucker Carlson Tonight," "Real Time with Bill Maher," "The Today Show," "The News Hour" and "The Glenn Beck Program."
