Sir Max Hastings is a distinguished British journalist, historian, and author, renowned for his extensive contributions to military literature. Born to notable journalist Macdonald Hastings and Anne Scott-James, a former editor of Harper's Bazaar, he was educated at Charterhouse School and University College, Oxford, from which he departed after a year. Hastings embarked on a career as a foreign correspondent, covering over sixty countries and eleven wars for prominent outlets like BBC TV and the London Evening Standard. His critically acclaimed works, including "Bomber Command," which won the Somerset Maugham Prize, and "Overlord" and "The Battle for the Falklands," both recipients of the Yorkshire Post Book of the Year Prize, have established him as a leading voice in military history. Serving as editor of The Daily Telegraph and later the Evening Standard, Hastings garnered several prestigious journalism awards before being knighted in 2002. His seminal work, "Armageddon: The Battle for Germany 1944-1945," published in 2005, further solidified his reputation in the field. In recognition of his lifetime achievements in military writing, he received the 2012 Pritzker Military Library Literature Award for Lifetime Achievement.
