Thomas Francis Dermot Pakenham, 8th Earl of Longford (born 14 August 1933), known simply as Thomas Pakenham, is an Anglo-Irish historian and arborist who has written several prize-winning books on the diverse subjects of African history, Victorian and post-Victorian British history, and trees. After graduating from Belvedere College and Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1955, Thomas Pakenham traveled to Ethiopia, a trip which is described in his first book The Mountains of Rasselas. On returning to Britain, he worked on the editorial staff of the Times Educational Supplement and later for The Sunday Telegraph and The Observer. He divides his time between London and County Westmeath, Ireland, where he is the chairman of the Irish Tree Society and honorary custodian of Tullynally Castle. He has seven siblings, among them the award-winning historian and biographer Lady Antonia Fraser, (who is the widow of playwright Harold Pinter); Lady Rachel Billington, also a writer (and the widow of the director Kevin Billington); and Lady Judith Kazantzis, a poet.

The Royal Horse Artillery (RHA) was formed in 1793 as a distinct arm of the Royal Regiment of Artillery of the British Army. Horses are still in service for ceremonial purposes but were phased out from operational deployment during the 1930s. The Royal Horse Artillery, currently consists of three regiments, (1 RHA, 3 RHA and 7 RHA) and one ceremonial unit (King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery). Almost all the batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery have served continuously since the French Revolutionary Wars or Napoleonic Wars, except the King's Troop which has existed since 1946 and M Battery which was 'reanimated' in 1993. The RHA has acquitted itself with distinction in the great wars of two centuries, the Napoleonic Wars, the Indian Mutiny, the Crimean War, the Peninsular War, the Anglo-Zulu War, the Boer War, World War I and World War II.

Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Claude Marjoribanks Dansey (1876-147) was England's most influential spymaster during the first half of the twentieth century. One mark of his success is how little is publicly known of his career and achievements. In this book, Anthony Read and David Fisher reveal a life as colorful as it was clandestine, filled with all the devious intrigue and fateful ironies of a John le Carre' novel. Anthony Read (21 April 1935 – 21 November 2015) was a British television producer, screenwriter, script editor and author. He was principally active in British television from the 1960s to the mid-1980s, although he occasionally contributed to televised productions until 1999. Beginning in the 1980s, he launched a second career as a print author, concentrating largely on World War II histories. In his second career as an author he continued his relationship with David Fisher into the world of nonfiction writing. While the majority of Read's books were solo works, he and Fisher collaborated a number of times, usually to explore some aspect of WWII. Together they wrote The Fall of Berlin, The Deadly Embrace: Hitler, Stalin and the Nazi-Soviet Pact, 1939–1941, Operation Lucy: The Most Secret Spy Ring of the Second World War, Berlin Rising: Biography of a City, Colonel Z: The Secret Life of a Master of Spies, and Kristallnacht: The Nazi Night of Terror.
