Chris Dickon

Chris Dickon is a former Emmy and multi-award winning public radio and television producer who brings the qualities of broadcast storytelling to books that tell little known but important stories of American history. His most recent work has focused on the human elements of war, developed new information in their subject matters, and played a role in an expanded discovery and memorial of American war dead buried around the world, many of them previously unknown since 1804. Dutch Children of African American Liberators, with co-author Mieke Kirkels in the Netherlands, tells the story of the European children of African American soldiers of World War II and has been honored as Best Multi-cultural Nonfiction of 2021 by the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society. Chris lives in Portsmouth, Virginia.
