Ralph Peters is a writer, strategist, media commentator and retired military officer.  He is the author of 33 books and over 1,000 columns, articles, essays and reviews.  Uniformed service, personal interests and research have taken him to more than 70 countries and six continents.  He served in the U.S. Army for 22 years, first as an enlisted man, then as an officer, retiring shortly after his promotion to lieutenant-colonel to write.  He currently serves as Fox News Strategic Analyst, appearing on every major American television and cable-news network, as well as on many radio programs and in the international media.
Also a novelist, under his own name and as Owen Parry, he has written a number of bestsellers with international settings, as well as prize-winning historical novels about the American Civil War.  His New York Times bestseller Cain at Gettysburg won the 2013 American Library Association’s W.Y. Boyd Award for Literary Excellence in Military Fiction, after which his follow-up novels Hell or Richmond and Valley of the Shadow also won the Boyd Award, making him the first three-time winner in the award’s history..  The Damned of Petersburg, the fourth novel in his five-book Civil War cycle, appeared in 2016 and the capstone book, Judgment at Appomattox, was published in 2017.  His “by Owen Parry” historical novels have won the Hammett Prize and the Herodotus Award.  In 2015, he received the Goodpaster Award as that year’s distinguished American soldier-scholar.
