AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
Martin King is a highly qualified military historian, author and lecturer who has had the honour of reintroducing many American, British and German veterans of World War II to the battlefields where they fought. Originally from Scotland, he now lives near Antwerp in Belgium where he spends most of his time visiting European battlefields. He is a British citizen and a chosen Cultural Ambassador for Belgium and an Honorary Citizen of Belgium.

His voluntary work tracing the individual histories of those who fought in the war has been a labour of love for almost 30 years. He speaks German, Italian, Dutch and French. Frequently in demand as a public speaker, he has lectured at many British and US colleges, universities and military bases throughout the world.
He was hired by the History Channel as a historical consultant on their series Cities of the Underworld. In 2007 he began working as a historical consultant and writer for the hit series Greatest Tank Battles, currently the most watched military documentary in the United States. Shortly thereafter he accepted an invitation to work as a presenter and historical consultant on the series Narrow Escapes with Bafta Award-winning documentary makers WMR.

He is a frequent visitor to the prestigious West Point Military Academy. Widely regarded as a leading authority on European military history, General Graham Hollands has referred to him as the 'greatest living expert on the Battle of the Bulge'. Steven Ambrose, author of Band of Brothers, called him 'our expert in the Ardennes'. Fellow writer and notable historian Professor Carlton Joyce said 'he really is the best on the Ardennes'.
His campaigning work for World War II veterans recently came to the attention of some leading military personnel at the Pentagon, who cordially invited him to present his latest work there. Martin has been awarded 'Services to Education' certificates by both USAF and NATO. In 2015 his documentary film Searching for Augusta received no less than seven Emmy awards for 'Best Historical Documentary'.
