James Owen

James Owen is a British author and historian. His first book, "A Serpent in Eden", told the story of the unsolved murder in 1943 of the millionaire Sir Harry Oakes in the Bahamas. "Nuremberg", which was published in 2006, examined the prosecution of the leading Nazis after the Second World War, combining eyewitness accounts with extracts from the transcript of the trial itself. His most recent book, "Danger UXB", is a new history of the heroic early days of bomb disposal during the Blitz of 1940-41. He is currently researching the wartime Commandos.
With Guy Walters, he has also edited "The Voice of War", an anthology of first-hand experiences of the 1939-45 conflict, as recorded in diaries, letters and memoirs of the time.
