Stephen Harding is a defense journalist and military historian based in Northern Virginia. He currently serves as editor-in-chief of Military History magazine and has written extensively on aviation, maritime, and military subjects over a career spanning more than four decades. His reporting has taken him to conflict zones in Northern Ireland, Bosnia, the Middle East, and Iraq.
Harding’s early books covered specialized military topics, from the wartime service of the Queen Mary in Gray Ghost (1982) to the overlooked B-32 Dominator bomber program. His later work shifted toward narrative non-fiction, telling stories of individual soldiers and forgotten episodes of World War II. The Last Battle (2013) became a New York Times bestseller, and both The Castaway’s War (2016) and Dawn of Infamy (2010) were optioned for film adaptations. His most recent book, G.I. G-Men (2026), examines the FBI’s hunt for American traitors in wartime Europe.
