renowned biographer. In addition to the first two volumes of The
Last Lion, his books include Goodbye, Darkness, A World Lit Only by
Fire, The Glory and the Dream, The Arms of Krupp, American Caesar,
and The Death of a President, as well as assorted works of
journalism. He was awarded the National Humanities Medal and the
Abraham Lincoln Literary Award. He passed away in 2004.
Paul Reid is an award-winning journalist. In late 2003, Manchester,
in failing health, asked him to complete The Last Lion: Defender of
the Realm. He lives in North Carolina.
