Journalist and commentator Tad Szulc was born in Warsaw, Poland on July 25, 1926 to Janina Baruch and Seweryn Szulc. In 1947, Szulc immigrated to the United States and became a naturalized citizen in 1954. Based in Spain, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, Szulc has had a long and distinguished career as a New York Times reporter and foreign correspondent.
Having attended the University of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro from 1943 to 1945, his first of many professional assignments was as a reporter for the Associated Press in Rio. In 1948 he married Marianne Carr, with whom he has two children: Nicole and Anthony. From 1949 to 1953, Szulc moved back to the United States where he served as United Nations correspondent for United Press International (UPI). Between 1953 and 1969, Szulc was a New York Times foreign correspondent throughout Europe, America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. In 1969 he was assigned to the newspaper's Washington Bureau.
Tad Szulc has written several books of fiction and nonfiction, including Twilight of the Tyrants (1959); The Cuban Invasion (with Karl Ernest Meyer, 1962); The Winds of Revolution (1963); Dominican Diary (1965); Latin America (1966); Bombs of Palomares (1967); The United States and the Caribbean (1971); Czechoslovakia since World War II (1971); Portrait of Spain (1972); Compulsive Spy: The Strange Career of E.
