Todd Culp, Ph.D, is a professor of political science and history who has studied terrorism in violent conflict zones from the Middle East to Southeast Asia to Europe. He uses the stories of his travels in conflict zones to bring real world examples to Whiskey with Freedom Fighters, Tea with Terrorists, and the Journey Home.
He began traveling to the Middle East in 1993 during the first Palestinian Uprising. While he lived in the West Bank, he was able to interview militant groups such as the Islamic Jihad and Hamas in an attempt to better understand the violence that swirled around him. Since then he's moved on to places like Southeast Asia where a terrorist group bombed his hotel and beheaded a group of tourists as well as places like Ireland where he interviewed Irish Republican Army (IRA) members such as an assassin who'd been sentenced to 284 years in prison.
In addition to his research and teaching, he still spends time working with peace activists to stand against the regular violence of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and occasionally leads the Educational Tours into the conflict zones to bring the reality of this fighting home.
