Peter Dixon Author & Editor

Peter Dixon is a nonfiction author who writes both from a Christian perspective and in the history genre, aiming in the latter to bring the past to life through human stories on war and peace. He served for over 30 years as a Royal Air Force pilot and spent the next decade leading the charity Concordis International in its conflict resolution work in Sudan and other divided societies. His PhD research at the University of Cambridge focused on outside intervention in civil wars. His recent publications include 'Peacemakers: A Christian View of War and Peace' and 'Setting the Med Ablaze: Churchill's Secret North African Base'. He and his wife Ingrid, also an author, work from their home in Gloucestershire, England, when their five grandchildren allow them to do so.
