About Charlie Gammell

Former diplomat with Middle East expertise
Author of Thomas Hobbes and the Kabul Underground
Insightful commentator on geopolitics and culture
Charlie Gammell brings an expert and unique perspective to Middle Eastern and Afghan affairs, drawing from his extensive diplomatic and personal experiences across the region. A historian and former UK Foreign Office diplomat, Charlie’s insight into complex geopolitical issues is informed by his work on the Iran desk and his time negotiating in Afghanistan, where among other roles he served as an interpreter (Dari / Pashto) in high-stakes settings for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

His commentary, featured in publications like The Spectator, Afghan Analysts Network, New Statesman and the Daily Express, attracts a dedicated following and respect for his thought-provoking, accessible style.

Charlie's journey into this field began with a self-driven mission to become an expert on Middle Eastern and Afghan history, a path he forged with a combination of resilience and passion for languages and culture. He faced a challenging start but ultimately turned early struggles into an asset, developing an in-depth knowledge that sets him apart from many Western experts. His understanding of languages like Dari, Farsi and Pashto has been invaluable in his interactions, offering rare, culturally resonant insights into the conflicts and politics that shape these regions.

Beyond his diplomatic career, Charlie continues to advise businesses and organisations on Middle Eastern developments, bringing a nuanced understanding of the region’s political landscape, history, and social intricacies, informed by a network of contacts and former colleagues. A trusted voice, he has earned accolades from corporate audiences for his ability to translate complex issues into meaningful, often poignant narratives.

His debut novel, Thomas Hobbes and the Kabul Underground, merges satire with sincere reverence for Afghanistan’s unique spirit, presenting a fresh, satirical, hilarious and irreverent take on the thriller genre in which he wears his deep knowledge of the country lightly.
