Dr. Andrew Mango (born 1926) is a British author who was born in Istanbul, Turkey, one of three sons of a prosperous Anglo-Russian family. Dr. Mango's early years were passed in Istanbul but in the mid-1940s he left for Istanbul and a job as a press officer in the British Embassy. He moved to the United Kingdom in 1947 and has lived in London ever since. He holds degrees from London University, including a doctorate on Persian literature. He joined BBC's Turkish section while still a student and spent his entire career in the External Services, rising to be Turkish Programme Organiser and then Head of the South European Service. He retired in 1986.
Dr. Mango abandoned his early intention of becoming an academic, finding his career at the BBC congenial, but he also wrote copiously in his spare time, publishing books and pamphlets on Turkey. In addition he wrote a large number of shorter articles and working papers for British and American think tanks on Turkey and its strategic role. He has also written for many years an annual review of major western studies of Turkey for the academic journal, Middle East Studies. His selected works include: Turkey and the War on Terrorism (2005); The Turks Today (2004); Atatürk: The Biography of the Founder of Modern Turkey (2002); Turkey: The Challenge of a New Role (1994); Discovering Turkey (1971); and Turkey (1968).
