Leon Marcus Uris (August 3, 1924 – June 21, 2003) was an American author of historical fiction who wrote many bestselling books including Exodus (published in 1958) and Trinity (published in 1976). When he was 17, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He served in the South Pacific with the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines and fought as a radioman in combat on Guadalcanal and Tarawa from 1942 through 1944. Coming out of the service, he worked for a newspaper, writing in his spare time. Esquire magazine bought an article in 1950, and he began to devote himself to writing. Drawing on his experiences in Guadalcanal and Tarawa, he produced the best-selling Battle Cry, a novel depicting the toughness and courage of U.S. Marines in the Pacific. He then went to Warner Brothers in Hollywood helping to write the movie, which was extremely popular. His best-known work may be Exodus, which was published in 1958. Most sources indicate that Uris financed his research for the novel by selling the film rights in advance to MGM and by writing newspaper articles about the Sinai campaign. It is also said that the book involved two years of research and thousands of interviews. Uris's subsequent works included: Mila 18, about the Warsaw ghetto uprising; Armageddon: A Novel of Berlin, a chronicle which ends with the lifting of the Berlin Blockade in 1949; and QB VII, about a Polish doctor in a German concentration camp.
