Roger's latest book, 'Two Minutes to Midnight; 1953, The Year of Living Dangerously' (Biteback), tells the story of one of the most tense years in the early Cold War, with the nuclear arms build-up, the death of Stalin, the malign influence of Joe McCarthy, and the continuing war in Korea. His previous book, 'All Behind You, Winston - Churchill's Great Coalition 1940-45' is the compelling story of the men (and two women) in Churchill's government who helped win the war, primarily on the Home Front. Many of those characters have been forgotten - eclipsed by the great man's giant shadow - and the book seeks to recover the memory of the likes of Lord Woolton, Sir John Anderson, Lord Beaverbrook and Ellen Wilkinson. Roger's previous books were 'The Greatest Traitor', a biography of the Cold War spy (and KGB mole) George Blake, and 'Clough and Revie', the story of the fierce rivalry between those two great football managers. Roger was a print and broadcast journalist before turning to full-time writing. He was a reporter and feature writer on the Yorkshire Post before joining the BBC in the early 1990s. The bulk of his career at the corporation was devoted to the Today programme, BBC Radio 4, where he was Assistant Editor from 1999-2010.
