Autorenporträt
James Roberts was born in the Worcestershire town of Evesham in 1967. His interest in the Great War, inspired by stories of his Great Uncle Frank's mercurial career on the Western Front serving with D Coy, 1/8th Worcestershire Regiment, began at an early age. James studied History at the University of Worcester and was awarded his PhD in 2004. During his time as a lecturer in Modern History, he delivered and published a number of papers examining the motivations and behaviours of Great War soldiers. James currently resides in the Highlands of Scotland where he is employed as a commercial copywriter.
