Thomas L. Friedman’s journey to his prestigious and influential position as Op-Ed columnist for the New York Times began early; he credits his high school teachers for instilling in him a "love of writing" and a "passion for journalism." Friedman was educated at Brandeis University, where he earned his B.A., and Oxford University, where he earned a Master of Philosophy degree in Middle East studies. He also attended the American University in Cairo. Friedman won two Pulitzer Prizes for his reporting in the 1980s, when he served first as bureau chief in Beirut and later as bureau chief in Jerusalem for the New York Times. His first book, FROM BEIRUT TO JERUSALEM (1989) recounts his experiences in those cities, and it was followed in 2000 by THE LEXUS AND THE OLIVE TREE, his first work on globalization.
