Diana West (born November 8, 1961, Hollywood, California) is a nationally syndicated conservative American columnist and author. Her weekly column, which frequently tackles controversial subjects such as the impact of Islam and the failures of counterinsurgency strategy (COIN), is syndicated by Universal U-Click and appears in about 120 newspapers and news sites. She is the author of the books The Death of the Grown Up: How America's Arrested Development Is Bringing Down Western Civilization (St. Martin's Press, 2007) and American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation's Character (St. Martin's Press, 2013).
West has contributed essays and features to The Wall Street Journal, The Weekly Standard, The Washington Times, The Washington Post, The New Criterion, The Public Interest, and The Women's Quarterly. She has also been a columnist for Scripps Howard News Service and United Media. As a former CNN contributor, West frequently appeared on CNN's Lou Dobbs show. She is a graduate of Yale University.
On May 28, 2013, St. Martin's Press published Diana West's second book, American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation's Character. With the fall of the Soviet Union and access to files and archives, historians have had ample opportunity to explore the scope of Soviet spying but have fail to "adjust the historical record." West explores the extent of Soviet influence during the Roosevelt and Truman Presidencies. She argues that infiltration of the American government by Stalinist agents and fellow-travelers had significantly altered Allied policies in favor of the Soviet Union during the Second World War. Frank J. Gaffney Jr. finds that West "painstakingly documents how America's government, media, academia, political and policy elites actively helped obscure the true nature of the Soviet Union." West finds there is a parallel with the failure to face the dangers of communism in the 1930s and the failure to face the threat of radical Islam today.
