==Biography==
Born in [[Lima]] on {{dts|1903|10|19}}, he was the son of {{ill|Antonio Miró Quesada de la Guerra|es}} and María Laos Argüelles. His father, a renowned politician and journalist, was [[President of the Congress of the Republic of Peru|president of Congress]] and director of ''[[El Comercio (Peru)|El Comercio]]''. He completed his school studies at the [[Colegio de la Inmaculada (Lima)|Inmaculada School]] in Lima and at the [[Tome School]] in [[Maryland]], and completed higher education at the universities of [[University of Oxford|Oxford]], [[University of Paris|La Sorbonne]] and [[University of San Marcos|San Marcos]], graduating as a lawyer in Lima (1932).<ref name=Tauro/><ref>{{Cite book |title=Peruanos notables de hoy: biografías de peruanos representativos contemporáneos |last=Beltroy |first=Manuel |publisher=Sanmarti |year=1957 |language=es |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dvoXAAAAIAAJ}}</ref>
In 1936, he married Rosa Moreyra y Paz-Soldán, with whom he had an only daughter. Later, he had two more daughters with Beatriz Eguren Carranza.
In 1921, he joined ''El Comercio'', being director of its evening edition from 1928 to 1934 (with an interruption in 1929 when he was confined in [[San Lorenzo Island (Peru)|San Lorenzo]] by the government of [[Augusto B. Leguía]]). The following year, both of his parents were murdered in an attack perpetrated by an [[Aprista Party]] leader, so the general direction of the newspaper passed to his uncle Aurelio Miró Quesada, while the sub-directorship went to him. Considered one of the main defenders and propagandists of [[Fascism in Peru|fascism in his country]], he was deported by the government of [[Óscar R. Benavides]] in 1937, so he remained in [[Europe]], travelling through [[Western Europe]] until the departure of the military regime in 1940.<ref name=Tauro/>
In 1944, he founded the conservative party with an anti-APRA tendency ''Renovación Nacional'', which had a medium political presence and from which he ran for senator for [[Callao]] in 1945. This year he moved to [[Argentina]], where he remained three years dedicated to academic and journalistic activities as a collaborator of ''[[La Nación]] and ''[[Clarín (Argentine newspaper)|Clarín]]'' in [[Buenos Aires]], and ''[[El Mercurio]]'' in [[Presidential Republic (1925–1973)|Chile]].
In 1949, he entered the diplomatic service and the military government of [[Manuel A. Odría]] appointed him [[List of ambassadors of Peru to Chile|ambassador to Chile]], a position in which he remained until 1952, when he was transferred to the [[List of ambassadors of Peru to Mexico|Peruvian embassy]] in [[Mexico]]. From this position he intervened in the resumption of [[Costa Rica–Peru relations|diplomatic relations]] between Peru and [[Costa Rica]], for which he was sent on a special mission to this country and then to [[Nicaragua]]. In 1953, he was appointed [[List of ambassadors of Peru to Brazil|ambassador in Rio de Janeiro]], a position he held until 1954 when he irrevocably resigned due to Odría's decision to allow [[Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre]] to leave the country. In 1956, he declined his candidacy for the presidency of Peru.<ref name=Tauro/>
Upon his return to Lima, he joined the conspiracy to place General [[Zenón Noriega Agüero]] in the government, but when the plot was discovered, he took refuge in the [[Embassy of Brazil, Lima|Brazilian embassy]] and then went into exile to Chile. In 1956, with the military regime severely deteriorating, Odría allowed the return of his political enemies and called for general elections. In them, Miró-Quesada presented himself as a National Restoration candidate for the Presidency with the intention of later withdrawing his nomination in favor of [[Manuel Prado]] and making the anti-APRA vote more solid; However, Prado, unsure of his victory, allied himself with Apra, so Miró-Quesada immediately withdrew his support. In 1962, he supported the candidacy of [[Fernando Belaúnde]] against that of Haya and in the same way in 1963.
From 1963 to 1966, he was Peru's [[List of ambassadors of Peru to Belgium|ambassador to Belgium]] and then [[List of ambassadors of Peru to Italy|to Italy]] until 1968 when he resigned due to the government's decision to apologise to [[Armando Villanueva]], president of the Chamber of Deputies whom he had refused to receive in [[Rome]]. After [[1968 Peruvian coup d'état|Belaúnde's fall]], [[Juan Velasco Alvarado]]'s [[Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces of Peru|military government]] restored him as ambassador to Italy (1969) and then again to Belgium (April–November 1969). Miró-Quesada died on November 4, 1969 in a hospital in Brussels, two weeks after suffering a vehicle accident.<ref name=Tauro/>
In 2016, his grandson José Carlos Yrigoyen published his biography titled ''Orgullosamente solos'' (Proudly alone), in which he details his relationships with [[fascism]], as well as his post-war political career.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Columna vertebral: 'Orgullosamente solos': La valentía y la ficción |url=https://peru21.pe/cultura/columna-vertebral-orgullosamente-solos-valentia-ficcion-228980-noticia/ |date=2016-09-24 |work=[[Perú 21]]}}</ref>
