Stephen Harding’s non-fiction spans more than forty years of military history writing. His earlier works focus on equipment and operations, covering subjects like the Queen Mary’s wartime service, the air campaign over Grenada, and U.S. Army aviation. Starting around 2010, his books took on a more narrative style, zeroing in on individual stories from World War II that had been largely overlooked.
The Last Battle tells the remarkable true story of American GIs and Wehrmacht soldiers who joined forces to defend an Austrian castle against an SS assault in the final days of the war. Last to Die follows the crew of a B-32 Dominator on the last combat mission of the Pacific War, while The Castaway’s War recounts one American’s survival and guerrilla fight against Japanese forces on a remote Pacific island. Each book draws on extensive archival research and firsthand accounts.
