He first rose to prominence as a result of his extensive writings on the samurai, and has since written on less familiar areas of military history such as Korea, Eastem Europe and the Baltic states. Peter Dennis was born in 1950 and, having been inspired by contemporary magazines such as 'Look and Learn,' he studied illustration at Liverpool Art College. He has since contributed to hundreds of books, predominantly on hstorical subjects. He is a keen wargarner and modelmaker.
