About Charles Whiting
Charles Whiting is a prolific British writer and military historian, renowned for his extensive body of work spanning over 350 books of fiction and non-fiction under his own name and multiple pseudonyms, including Ian Harding, Duncan Harding, K.N. Kostov, John Kerrigan, Klaus Konrad, and Leo Kessler. Born in the Bootham area of York, England, Whiting's early life took an adventurous turn when he joined the British Army at 16, after falsifying his age. As a soldier, he was attached to the 52nd Reconnaissance Regiment and served as a sergeant in France, Holland, Belgium, and Germany during the final stages of World War II. This firsthand experience of military conflicts, particularly the tensions between British and American generals, would later become a significant theme in his writing.
