Nigel Hamilton is one of Britain's most distinguished biographers. He began his career with The Brothers Mann, a life of two of Germany's greatest 20th century authors. He then won the Whitbread Prize and Templer Medal for Monty, his definitive, three-volume official life of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, following which his JFK: Reckless Youth proved an international bestseller. He became the first Professor of Biography in Britain, at De Montfort University, and currently lives in Boston, Massachusetts, where he is working on the last part of his Clinton trilogy.
