From a Christian minority family in India, Dinesh D'Souza has emerged as a major public-policy maker and a leading influence on conservative thinkers.
A former policy analyst in the Reagan White House, D'Souza also served as John M. Olin Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and the Robert and Karen Rishwain Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth College in 1983. The World Affairs Council lists him as one of the nation's 500 leading authorities on international issues. Newsweek cited him as one of the country's most prominent Asian Americans.
With the publication of his latest book, "What Is So Great About Christianity," D'Souza has entered the realm of Christian Apologetics in a big way. He is a Roman Catholic.
In 1992, D'Souza married Dixie Brubaker. They reside in Fairbanks Ranch, California.
