Early life and education

Anne Nelson was born in Fort Sill, Oklahoma in 1954, and spent her childhood in Lincoln, Nebraska.[2][3] She graduated from Yale University in 1976.[2][4]

Career

From 1980 to 1983, Nelson served as a war correspondent in El Salvador and Guatemala.[3][4]

In 2005, she received a Guggenheim Fellowship in Nonfiction and German and East European History for her research for the book Red Orchestra.[5]

Nelson teaches at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University.[4]

Nelson's 2021 book "How Powerful Is This Right-Wing Shadow Network?"[6] deals with the political influence of groups including the right wing Council for National Policy.[7] She was led to investigate the group after listening to reporters on talk radio while driving about what was "really happening". She discovered that irrationally the news in Oklahoma was not the same news that she was involved with in New York.[8]
