In this captivating UnHerd interview, Freddie Sayers sits down with Douglas Murray to trace his remarkable evolution from a young Oxford scholar immersed in cultural and artistic pursuits to a global neoconservative commentator.
Murray reflects on his early days writing the acclaimed biography Bosie (2000), a deep dive into the life of Lord Alfred Douglas, Oscar Wilde’s lover, and how his focus shifted quickly to fiery political debates on the world stage.
