He has spent most of his active life as a civil servant, first in London and then in Brussels, always specializing in foreign relations. He has worked for the British Government, the European Commission and the European External Service. He still lives in Brussels but frequently travels to the UK and a number of other European countries. A historian by training, David Tirr has always questioned why people believe what they believe. For him, religion and mythology – ancient and modern – have always driven the course of events and redefined the identity of peoples; so faith, the stories around which faith is built, and the political consequences have always shaped history – be it truth or fiction.view less
