Chris Wallace is a veteran journalist whose non-fiction books focus on key moments in American history. His first book, First Lady: A Portrait of Nancy Reagan (1986), came early in his career. He returned to book writing with Character: Profiles in Presidential Courage (2004) before launching his Countdown series with Countdown 1945 (2020), which told the story of the 116 days leading to the dropping of the atomic bomb.

Countdown bin Laden (2021) applied the same countdown structure to the hunt for Osama bin Laden, and Countdown 1960 (2024) examined the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon presidential race. Wallace is also a prolific contributor to the Footprint Handbooks travel guide series, with 44 guidebooks covering destinations across Spain, Southeast Asia, Central and South America, and Iceland. His travel writing covers a different side of his interests from the political non-fiction.
