Education

Initially seeking a medical career, Kengor majored in biochemistry/biophysics at the University of Pittsburgh where he worked for Dr. Thomas Starzl’s organ-transplant team, the pioneer of organ transplantation. After receiving his bachelor's degree, his interest in the end of the Cold War and politics motivated him to pursue political science instead of medicine. He received his master's degree from the American University School of International Service[2] and his doctorate degree from the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public and International Affairs.[3] He also holds an honorary doctorate from the Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio.[4]

Career

Kengor has done work for the Center for Strategic and International Studies and The Heritage Foundation and Allegheny Institute for Public Policy, conservative think tanks. He has served on the editorial board of Presidential Studies Quarterly. He does a regular commentary for American Radio Journal, Moody Broadcasting, and Ave Maria Radio Network/CatholicExchange.com.[5] He also writes for the American Spectator.[6] In September 2022, R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., the founder of The American Spectator, announced that Kengor will be succeeding him as editor in chief of the magazine. Tyrrell remains editor in chief while Kengor serves as editor of the magazine.[7]

Kengor has published eight books on Ronald Reagan. The 2024 film Reagan, starring Dennis Quaid as Reagan, is a film based on Kengor's 2006 book The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism.[8]
