Hugh Bicheno

Hugh Bicheno is a living British-American military historian most famous for his revisionist interpretations of the American Revolution in his acclaimed publication "Rebels and Redcoats: The American Revolutionary War" and of the Falklands War in his best-selling "Razor's Edge: The Unofficial History of the Falklands War".

Bicheno was born in Cuba to British parents in 1948. He is a naturalised citizen of the United States, although he now lives in Cambridge, England, where he was educated. Before becoming an author he was an academic and served as an intelligence officer and security consultant in Italy and across Latin America, specializing in kidnap negotiations.

Bicheno has collaborated with Richard Holmes on a number of projects. Holmes wrote the prefaces to "Rebels and Redcoats" and "Razor's Edge" and also made a television series adaptation of "Rebels and Redcoats".
