'''Alastair Francis Buchan''' (9 September 1918 - 4 February 1976) was a jounalist who was appointed the first director of the [[International Institute for Strategic Studies]]. He was the youngest child of John Buchan, first Baron Tweedsmuir, who was a novelist, barrister and MP who had worked for the [[British War Propaganda Bureau]] during the First World War.<ref>National Archives Famous names in the First World War [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/medals-buchan.asp John Buchan MP]</ref> Alistair Buchan attended Etonian and then Christ Church Colege, Oxford and worked as assistant editor of ''The Economist'' from 1948 to 1951<ref>‘At Home in the Pentagon’, ''The Times'', 16 December 1967; pg. 6; Issue 57126; col F</ref> when he became the Washington correspondent for ''The Observer''.
