Danny S. Parker

Danny S. Parker developed a keen interest in the history of the WWII at an early age. In 1991, he authored "Battle of the Bulge," an detailed campaign overview, followed in 1994 by "To Win the Winter Sky," an account of the last months of the air war. For twenty years, he has researched an in-depth biography of Jochen Peiper, an infamous German WWII personality. This effort spans over 200 interviews in the U.S. and Europe as well as many weeks at the U.S. National Archives and the Bundesarchiv in Germany. Unique information developed on the Malmedy massacre saw the publication of "Fatal Crossroads" in 2011. His biography of Peiper, "Hitler's Warrior," will be released in December 2014. The author is particularly interested in preserving the rich history of the Second World War and through it conveying insight into the human condition. His other interests span the gamut: low energy home design, invention and machines, Zen practice and good coffee. On Twitter: @DannySParker
