Frum is a resident fellow at the American
Enterprise Institute, a contributing editor to National Review,
a columnist for Canada's National
Post newspaper, and a regular contributor to the Daily Telegraph
in Great Britain and to National Public Radio in the United States. He
is also the author of the new book, The
Right Man: The Surprise Presidency of George W. Bush, forthcoming
in January from Random House.
From January 2001 to February 2002, David Frum was special assistant
to President Bush for economic speechwriting.
Frum's first book, Dead
Right (1994), was described by William F. Buckley as "the
most refreshing ideological experience in a generation," and by Frank
Rich of the New York Times as "the smartest book written from
the inside about the American conservative movement." In 1996, the
Wall Street Journal acclaimed him as "one of the leading political
commentators of his generation." Frum's history of the 1970s, How
We Got Here, was published in January 2000. "More than any
other book I know," said Michael Barone, editor of The Almanac
of American Politics, "it shows how we came to be the way we
are." In 2001, Judge Richard Posner's study of public intellectuals
listed Frum as one of the 100 most influential minds in the United States.
Frum was born in Toronto, Canada in 1960. He received a simultaneous
BA and MA in history from Yale in 1982. He was appointed a visiting lecturer
in history at Yale in 1986; in 1987, he graduated cum laude from the Harvard
Law School, where he served as president of the Federalist Society.
Frum was an editor on the editorial page of the Wall
Street Journal from 1989 until 1992. In 1992-1994, Frum wrote
the law column at Forbes
magazine. Between 1994 and 2001, Frum was a senior fellow at the Manhattan
Institute for Public Policy Research.
Frum lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife, journalist and novelist
Danielle
Crittenden Frum, and their three children.
