Richard West (journalist)
- Richard West (journalist)
Richard West (1930 - ) is a British journalist and author most noted for his reporting of the Vietnam War and Yugoslavia.
Born 18 July, 1930, in London, West attended Marlborough College before his national service spell in Trieste awakened a life long interest in Yugoslavia.
Starting off his journalistic career at the Manchester Guardian, West became a foreign correspondent in Yugoslavia, Africa, Central America and Indochina. Among his books are The Making of the Prime Minister (with Anthony Howard), Victory in American and An English Journey.
He is the grandson of the classics scholard Walter Leaf, and is married to the Irish journalist Mary Kenny. His sons, Patrick West and Ed West, are both journalists, and Richard is the first cousin of the actor Timothy West (husband of the actress Prunella Scales, and father of the actor Sam West).
