Halliday has written or edited eight books, including a long interview with the U.S. film-maker Douglas Sirk. In addition, he and his wife, Jung Chang, with whom he lives in Notting Hill, West London, researched and wrote a biography of Mao Zedong, Mao: the Unknown Story. The book was highly-praised in the popular press.[1][2] Some scholars offered measured praise of the range of scholarship,[2][3] but more prevalent criticism on factual accuracy, methodology and use of sources.[1][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Halliday is the older brother of the late Irish International relations academic and writer Fred Halliday.[10]

He was educated at University of Oxford and has been married to Jung Chang since 1991.
