Peter Dixon is a researcher, lecturer and author. He has previously written about a medical expedition in the Peruvian jungle (Amazon Task Force) and about his work as a Christian peacebuilder (Peacemakers). He currently writes nonfiction with a focus on human stories in war and peace. In bringing history to life, his ambition is for readers to get the same enjoyment and understanding as he has gained from writers like Antony Beevor, Ben Macintyre and Paddy Ashdown. He and his wife Ingrid, also an author, work from their home in Gloucestershire, England, when their five grandchildren allow them to do so.
