Jake Jacobs grew up on the south coast of England and spent his youth devouring the wartime tales of his grandfathers. He studied for a degree in military history and completed a stint in the Territorial Army before he started working as a full-time writer.
Jake now lives and works in the Middle East and spends his spare time ankle-deep in mud and rusty bullet casings as he wanders the battlefields of the world. He is married with two young children.
