About John
Award-winning author John Rhodes uses fiction to retell the factual history of World War II. His focus on that titanic struggle stems from his earliest memories—he grew up in London where, he says, the shells of bombed-out buildings ‘served as our adventure playgrounds.’
Praise for John’s Books
“Rhodes’ knowledge of the historical circumstances of this tale, which crescendo with the siege of Malta, is magisterial—rigorous and granular but also with an impressive sense of context. He also sensitively captures the psyche of the fighter pilot, who must strenuously maintain vigilance and composure.”
