Roger N. Buckley

Roger N. Buckley was born in New York City to immigrant parents from the Caribbean. A graduate of McGill University in Montreal, he is a professor of history at the University of Connecticut, USA. His scholarly books have been published with leading university and commercial publishers, Yale University Press and The Bodley Head (UK) among them. The focus of his research has been war in history. His writings (including his novels) have sought to show that the study of war is more than the study of conflict. War in history embraces war in all its various aspects: social, cultural, geographical, medical, economic, gender, legal, intellectual, and political as much as purely military. His list of research awards includes the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. His previous novels, part of his “Accommodation and Resistance: Three Who Chose Rebellion” trilogy, are “Congo Jack”, “I, Hanuman”, and “The Death and Life of an Irish Soldier”. “Gandhi Forever” is the first novel in his Relph Coggins Series, which is set in different parts of the world and with the same lead character in each novel: a McGill University history professor who is always the outsider, even in his native Montreal. Buckley’s numerous books and journal articles have been published in the United States, the United Kingdom, India, the Netherlands, Jamaica and Puerto Rico.
