He was editor of Town before joining the staff of The Sunday Times in 1968.[6]
As a foreign correspondent, Moynahan covered the Arab-Israeli, Ethiopian and Lebanese conflicts, as well as events in Europe and Russia. He was latterly The Sunday Times Europe editor,[7] based in Paris, before concentrating on writing books.[6]
These include the award-winning history, The Russian Century,[8][9]The Faith, a history of Christianity, If God Spare My Life, a biography of William Tyndale, described as "a triumph, authoritative, vital, passionate, closely attentive to the sources"[10] and the best-selling Airport International and Jungle Soldier.
