Born in Ohio and raised in Wisconsin, Steven Wilson has been fascinated by
history since he was a child. One of his first books, a birthday present
from his aunt, was THE CIVIL WAR by Bruce Catton. He was equally enthralled
by motion pictures, working in his great-uncle's theater at the age of
seven, hauling tins of un-popped popcorn to the concession counter.
He's held a variety of jobs including tower clock repairman, factory worker,
shoe salesman, stock boy, roofer, construction worker and now, museum
curator. Wilson began writing novels in 1993, after a sketchy attempt to
write short stories.
His eclectic interests include motion picture history, movie soundtracks,
19th Century military history, and World War II. He works fulltime as a
curator and museum consultant and writes part-time. He considers research as
least as important as the writing, and plans to write some non-fiction works
in the future.

It was the Foreign Legion's Alamo, and it may just have been its

and Warfare
If the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan teach us nothing
else, they teach us that technology is the soldier's best friend
— and his worst enemy.
