Steve Middendorf

Steve Middendorf  was born in Minnesota in 1947 and educated in Catholic schools. He enlisted in the US Army in 1968 and worked on Nike Hercules guided missile systems in Germany during the Vietnam War era. University study in the early 1970s radicalised his view of US foreign policy. In 1993 Steve was offered a two‑year IT startup assignment in Australia and emigrated shortly thereafter. From this new vantage point, he began re‑examining America’s global role through the experiences of other migrants and wide reading in critical history, economics and international relations. Steve’s writing focuses on US power, the delusions of empire, and the distortions of Western media. He now lives on the NSW Central Coast and publishes regular commentary on Substack.
