This week marked an important landmark. My latest book was released to my subscribers ahead of its public release on March 25th.
Warriors of War is my third nonfiction book, and this one features more historical aspects than crime. In times of war, heroes emerge in many forms—some celebrated, others lost to history. Warriors of War uncovers the extraordinary, often overlooked figures whose courage, intelligence, and ingenuity shaped the course of World War II.
From Alan Turing, the brilliant mathematician who cracked the Enigma code yet was persecuted for his identity, to Nicholas Winton, the quiet London stockbroker who saved hundreds of Jewish children, this book brings to light stories of resilience and sacrifice. It delves into the daring exploits of resistance fighters like Freddie Oversteegen, the teenage assassin luring Nazis to their deaths, and Paul Gruninger, the Swiss police officer who risked his career to smuggle Jewish refugees to safety.
It also honours the unorthodox heroes—engineers and inventors like those behind the Mulberry Harbours and Operation PLUTO, whose innovations ensured Allied victory. Even amidst devastation, figures like Tsutomu Yamaguchi, who miraculously survived both atomic bombings and Molly Lamb Bobak, the first female Canadian war artist, remind us of the enduring human spirit.
Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, Warriors of War shed light on the individuals—known and unknown—who defied tyranny and left an indelible mark on history. Their legacy is courage, ingenuity, and the relentless pursuit of justice.
