Thomas M. Engelhardt (born 1944) is an American writer and editor. He is the creator of Type Media Center's tomdispatch.com, an online blog.[1] He is also the co-founder of the American Empire Project and the author of the 1998 book, The End of Victory Culture: Cold War America and the Disillusioning of a Generation.[2]
Engelhardt graduated from Yale University and then completed a master's degree in East Asian Studies from Harvard University.[4] As an undergraduate he was attracted to the study of Chinese history by Mary C. Wright, and was a research assistant for Jonathan Spence.
Engelhardt has worked in book and news publishing. He was a senior editor at Pantheon Books where he edited such books as Maus by Art Spiegelman, and has seen been a consulting editor at Metropolitan Books. He also taught at the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California, Berkeley as a teaching fellow.[7] He once described the editing process as "more like a craft, that's right, because there isn't as much of a preset pattern for it. There's a word I often think about because it's such a negative in our society, which is 'used.' You say a 'used' car—something previously owned and not particularly good, or 'I've been used, I've been exploited.' But the most beautiful feeling about editing for an editor is that feeling of being used and subsumed."[6]
Engelhardt created TomDispatch in November 2001, and in 2002, it received support from The Nation Institute. He has described the site as the "sideline that ate his life". Contributors have included Rebecca Solnit, Bill McKibben, Jonathan Schell, Fatima Bhutto, Nick Turse, Pepe Escobar, Noam Chomsky, and Andrew Bacevich.[8] He has written many articles and books including The American Way of War: How Bush's Wars Became Obama's.
