Born in London in 1964 of Pakistani and Finnish parents,[2] Kadri studied history and law at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated with a first, and has a master's degree from Harvard Law School.[3] Kadri's parallel travel writing career started with a visit to Prague during the 1989 Velvet Revolution as one of only a handful of 'non-journalists' to actually observe the reality of the changes without being hamstrung by press conferences and filing deadlines. He stayed on in Prague for two years to pen the groundbreaking Cadogan Guide to that city.[4] His 2005 book, The Trial: A History, from Socrates to O. J. Simpson was written after two and a half years spent in Manhattan, having arrived shortly before September 11, 2001. He was inspired to write this 2012 work Heaven on Earth, by the September 11, 2001 and July 7, 2005 bombings.[2] Critics have called that book "extremely valuable" and "entertaining",[5] "carefully researched",[6] and "thorough and admirable".[2] He currently lives in London and writes law-based articles for the British current affairs magazine New Statesman,[7] and the London Review of Books.
