Synopsis
Douglas Ronald studied at Edinburgh University where he gained a Master of Arts Honours Degree in History and French. During a 30-year career in merchant banking, Douglas lived overseas for many years - in Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand, and the United States. In 1984, he returned to the U.K. and founded his own boutique firm, a corporate finance consultancy based out of London and Oxford, specializing in cross-border mergers and acquisitions on behalf of major multinational corporations, and heritage tourism for the Government and the National Trust. Douglas is now a full-time writer. Alexander Kent, author of the introduction to Young Nelsons, is the pen name for Douglas Reeman, a master storyteller of the sea, from the time of Nelson to the twentieth century. He joined the Royal Navy at the age of sixteen at the outbreak of World War II, despite coming from an army family, and served in the North Sea and the Arctic in the Atlantic and Mediterranean campaigns. He returned to active service during the Korean War and later remained a naval reservist while working as a children's welfare officer for the London City Council. Reeman writes both fiction and non-fiction titles focusing on naval history, particularly that of Britain's Royal Navy. The author lives in Wantage, England.
